"It's coming after us!"
There were countless floating rocks in the void, and Lin's Kraken was flying between the rocks at high speed.
Behind Kraken was a disc-shaped battleship.
The warship was originally near the floating rock, but it suddenly stopped attacking the floating rock and flew towards Lin at a high speed.
Kraken noticed a few floating rocks in front of it. Kraken changed its direction slightly and went through the gap between two rocks.
Looking back, Lin noticed that the battleship had also turned its body and followed Craken through the gap.
It seemed that the host was getting better at controlling the warship. Before this, it could not do this.
But what was even more amazing was …
"It's coming after us! Fly faster! "The mayor kept yelling. He obviously knew that the warship was coming after them.
But the cabin he was in could not see what was happening outside.
At the same time, Lin was curious how the warship knew about the mayor. It must be because of the mayor. It seemed that the host controlled the warship to chase after the mayor.
This was because Forbidden Lands 1 could not perform many complicated and high-speed movements, but the battleship could. Lin thought that perhaps … the host had planned this from the very beginning. It would use the Forbidden Lands to directly attack the floating rocks of the Kingdom of God, and the purpose of controlling the battleship was to chase after the mayor because the mayor might escape during the attack.
Although the mayor escaped before the host attacked the floating rocks, it did not make a difference. The warship could still chase after the mayor.
Lin thought. Lin asked the mayor, "How do you know it's coming after you?"
"Of course I know. Because … "The mayor hesitated for a moment. Then he said, "This has nothing to do with you. Just fly faster!"
"…" After Lin heard what he said, she asked Kraken to slow down. The warship caught up with them.
The mayor immediately showed a panicked expression and said, "Ah! What are you doing? Why are you slowing down? You can't let it catch up with me! "
It seemed that the mayor was afraid of being caught. What would happen if he was caught by the host?
Lin continued to ask, "How do you know it's coming after you?"
"Are you threatening me?" The mayor said, "Even so, I won't tell you … and … you can't really stop! Your battleship will also be destroyed if it hits you … Ahhh! "
It wasn't done yet. Lin asked Kraken to slow down a bit. They were now only a few thousand meters away from the warship.
"How did you know it was chasing you?" Lin continued to ask.
"I …" As if sensing that the disc-shaped battleship was getting closer and closer, the mayor's emotions became more and more flustered. Left with no other choice, he could only say, "Alright … I'll tell you, because it's … my kind."
"Same kind? Haven't you been unable to find your own kind? "
Although the mayor didn't seem to be lying, Lin still felt very confused.
"I have been looking for our 'civilization' and the reason for our birth," the mayor said. "A long, long time ago … I was also looking for my own kind."
"Then … I found it."
The mayor obviously didn't want to talk about this, but he still did …
"I can't say for sure that it's one of my kind, but when I came into contact with it. I have a feeling … this feeling makes me feel that its consciousness is … very similar to mine. It has the same consciousness as me. "
"That's why. We can sense each other's location. If we're close enough, we can know what the other is thinking … So, now its target is the floating rock in our country … The main reason is to find me and control me! "
"Control you?" Lin asked. "Why can it control you?"
"When we come into contact with each other, there is a possibility …" The mayor said. "It can take over my body!"
"How do you know that?"
"I don't know … I just have this feeling. As long as it gets close, this feeling will become stronger," the mayor said. "Now, I want to know what you want. There's no point in bringing me out. Let me go back. There are enough weapons and military power to defend against the floating island host's attack … "
"I want to know something else. If I know everything, I can let you go back."
"Alright …" The mayor said. "As long as you can guarantee my safety."
Then, Lin asked many more questions. However, it seemed like the mayor only knew that the host could control him, but he didn't know how the host did it.
A thought came to Lin's mind. Perhaps the floating island host was like the mayor, made up of a bunch of small metals?
These small metals had special dream energy, which gave them the ability to think. Could it be that the floating island host was like the mayor, connected to somewhere far away?
However, when Lin explored the forbidden land earlier, she didn't find any small metals. Perhaps it was hidden deeper?
"Do you recognize this?"
With that in mind, Lin continued to ask the mayor … The cabin door slowly opened, and a pompon brought a cube before the mayor.
"I know this." The mayor didn't seem to have any reaction to the cube. Instead, he said calmly, "I've seen this thing a long time ago. Once I touch it, I'll feel something special."
"Then, I realized … I can inject some of my feelings into it," the mayor said. "You should already know … I have this ability."
"Then, I injected the feeling of 'fear' into it. I realized that it would also cause the creatures it came in contact with to feel fear and even go insane. I wanted to use this against the floating island host … so I threw it into the forbidden land like a weapon. But … it didn't seem to have any effect."
"Since you can inject fear into it …" Lin asked, "Can you extract it?"
"That shouldn't be a problem."
Then, Lin let the mayor touch the cube. Sure enough, just as the mayor said, Lin felt that the dream energy inside was changing.
The fear that had been added to the cube was disappearing bit by bit. In the end, it was completely gone.
"This should work, but what do I need to do?" the mayor asked.
Lin asked him back, "Do you know what this cube is for?"
"It's said to be something that can create a vast world," the mayor said. "I know there's a professor who's been trying to study this thing, looking for its legend … But what's the point of creating a virtual world? This kind of thinking really suits its identity as a lowly creature. "
"This concept of a lowly creature …" Lin said, "You also learned it from them, didn't you?"
"What?" the mayor seemed rather angry. "Why would I learn it from them?"
"You might not have noticed it yourself, but after interacting with them for a long time … you've become more and more like them. You weren't like that in the beginning, but later on, you began to accept their 'values' and various ideas. You've become more and more like a 'creature of individuality'"
"They often look down on creatures weaker than themselves, and this thought has been passed on to you as well …" Lin said. "So now, you've always thought of them as lowly creatures."
"I …" the mayor appeared to be stunned as he tried to recall what happened in the past.
Even though she had only seen the mayor's first memory, judging from the mayor's initial personality and his current personality … he had indeed been greatly affected and changed during this period of time.
He didn't seem to notice it, but if she told him, how would he change?
Now, Lin wanted to see how the dream cube had changed …
With that in mind, Lin touched the dream cube and entered the core of the dream.
It seemed that after the mayor had extracted the fear from the cube, the environment inside had become completely different.
After entering the dream, Lin didn't see the familiar ocean, but the sky was still blue. This place appeared to be a high altitude where there was no land at all. There was nothing around her, so no matter where she flew, she wouldn't feel fear.
It seems the ocean from before was formed because of the mayor's fear?
"What exactly is going on here? Why did this place change so much … "
At this point, Lin saw a group of glowing things in front of her. Lin had seen them before, the commander and his subordinates.
Or rather, they were energy creatures with their memories.
They weren't separated and were instead able to gather together. Furthermore, the space here wasn't only 10 meters wide like before …
It seems the mayor's fear had affected this place quite a bit.
"You! Why did you appear here? " Suddenly, one of the energy creatures who seemed to be the commander noticed them and immediately asked: "You should know what happened here, right?"
"There's no more fear here" the pompom replied: "As for the other changes, we'll need to investigate in detail"
"I smelled it just now!" The commander said: "When this place changed, I smelled the mayor's scent, he must be nearby, right?"
"Smell?" the pompom asked: "How did you smell it?"
"In … in short, it's a similar feeling to smell!" The commander said: "He should be outside, this is a chance, I need to take this opportunity to deal with him!"
"How are you going to deal with him?"
"You just need to stick the cube on its body and you'll be fine! Hurry up, you should be able to do it, right? I'm begging you here … this is for the sake of all the creatures in the Divine Kingdom! "
