It seemed … to be moving.
Lin's Mechanical Octopus was now at the back of the Capturer's warship.
It was still the same as before. The ground was covered with traces of the Void Bus Cub hitting it.
And the starry sky above … was different from before.
Lin had seen the situation here many times. Now she could clearly see some changes in the starry sky.
It seemed that the warship had moved a long distance. Lin thought it should be millions of kilometers away from the water sphere. And it was still moving.
The warship should have lost its ability to move. Lin thought it should be … dragged away by something else. It might be the 'Gravity Sphere' she heard about before.
But if it was really the Gravity Sphere, she didn't know how long it would take to reach the destination. So Lin decided to go back first and do some investigation.
'Whoosh!'
Just as Lin was about to go back inside the warship, she suddenly saw a huge object flying in the sky. The whistling sound of its flight was simulated in Lin's mind.
It was … an aircraft. It was the kind of aircraft used by the Capturer. But now it was just a pile of wreckage. From the appearance of the wreckage, one could see its specific structure.
Now this pile of wreckage seemed to be … sticking together for some reason. And it was flying over the warship at a very fast speed.
And there seemed to be more than one.
After this pile of wreckage flew over, Lin saw a second one, and a third one. A large number of aircraft wreckage flew over the sky. It was like a group of flying creatures that were migrating.
This group of wreckage all … flew in one direction. And their speed was much faster than the warship. It seemed that they were all aircraft that were destroyed in the war.
They weren't completely destroyed. And their wreckage was now attracted by some strange force and flew in that direction.
The Mechanical Octopus didn't feel this strange force at all, but the wreckage was being sucked in … So Lin had an idea.
If the destination of these wreckage was the same as the warship, then perhaps she could get there faster if she took them.
Should she take them?
This Mechanical Octopus couldn't be divided into multiple units. Although it could shoot out some tentacles to control it, if the distance was too far, it might … cause it to be out of control.
And the Mechanical Susumi in its head couldn't be separated.
So. Lin decided not to go up first. She didn't know where these things would fly to, and she still had a lot of things to investigate.
With that in mind, Lin decided to head back, but just as she was about to move, she suddenly noticed that Atlan … Rosalie had also appeared at the moving point.
The entrance of the room could be connected to every movement point, so it was possible to reach the back of the battleship.
Rosalie looked at the battleship flying across the sky, her expression under her helmet was quite surprised. Then, her voice sounded from the communicator in the octopus' body.
"This phenomenon … has been recorded before."
"Is there a record?"
…
So that's how it is. There are so many records here …
Now. Lin and Rosalie returned to the library, and Lin and Rosalie went to a place that wasn't too damaged.
This place should be called … something like a basement. It was in the lower level of the library. Rosalie said that no creatures knew about this place, and it was also used to store information.
The space here was relatively small, about 50 meters in diameter. The surrounding walls were covered with a large number of discs, each of which was about a meter in diameter. It was unknown why they had to be so big.
Most importantly, this place wasn't as badly damaged as the upper level.
The equipment here was basically intact. Although there was no energy left, the discs used to store information could be opened.
But many of the discs were empty, with only a small number of discs containing information. Right now, Lin was looking at one of the discs that recorded information about the wreckage.
The captors had recorded a lot of information about the wreckage because these things were considered important. For a long time, the water ball had destroyed all creatures around it, and the wreckage floating in the void was the evidence of destruction. But these 'evidence' didn't necessarily stay in place.
These wreckage wouldn't stay in place for too long. They would disappear after a period of time, but the duration of their disappearance wasn't fixed. Sometimes it would be quick, and sometimes it would be long.
The captors had observed some of the wreckage leaving, and at that time, they would all fly in the same direction.
But for some reason, the captors didn't seem to follow these flying objects to see where they flew to. In short, there was no record of this.
Perhaps there was a record, but they didn't want to show it to the creatures here … In short, this place proved that all the wreckage would drift to the same place.
Boom!!!
Just as Lin was thinking, the surroundings suddenly shook violently, and a large number of cracks appeared on the ceiling of the room.
Something seemed to be happening in the upper level of the library … Lin thought that some large creature was moving around up there, probably the one she saw last time …
Boom! A large hole suddenly appeared on the floor of the room, and a large tentacle reached in from the hole.
It was indeed the Void Bus's cub. Lin didn't know why it came here … She thought it was the same one she saw last time.
"This is …" Seeing this, Rosalie immediately took out her weapon and said, "Can this creature mutate too?"
Boom! Then, accompanied by the sound of collapsing, half of the Void Bus's body crawled in from the upper level. It was waving its tentacles, and one of them was pointing in Rosalie's direction.
It still looked like it was hunting for multicellular creatures. As long as Lin's mechanical octopus didn't move, it wouldn't care. But other creatures … it seemed like it could detect them directly.
"It's …" Seeing half of the cub's body crawl in, Rosalie said in a surprised tone, "I know …"
Bam! Before it could finish its sentence, the cub's tentacle slammed into its body and sent it flying, crashing heavily into the wall behind it.
"Ah …"
Rosalie's armor seemed to have good defensive capabilities. After being hit like this, it still seemed to be alive, but it seemed to be unable to move.
Lin was a little concerned about the 'I know' sentence. It seemed like it knew this cub?
The Void Bus squeezed again, squeezing most of its body into the space, and crawled in Rosalie's direction.
Lin looked at the cub that was getting closer and closer and moved as well. The mechanical octopus abruptly accelerated and pounced on one of the cub's tentacles. Then, it aimed the octopus' tentacle at the outer shell of the tentacle.
A flash of light gushed out from the end of the mechanical octopus's tentacle. It was a high-temperature substance, and the cub that was hit by it immediately swung its tentacles wildly as if it was greatly stimulated, throwing the mechanical octopus off.
Then, the cub's other tentacle slammed into the mechanical octopus. The mechanical octopus was directly hit and was sent flying, but it did not hit the wall.
Halfway through the impact, Lin activated the propulsion system to stabilize the mechanical octopus. Then, Lin let the mechanical octopus raise three tentacles and launch them into the surroundings.
However, the cub did not care about these launched tentacles at all. Instead, it continued to rush towards Lin, using its huge tentacles to smash the mechanical octopus.
Boom! A roar came from the mechanical octopus's side. Lin dodged its attack, and the cub made a deep hole in the ground.
Now, the cub was almost completely inside, and its body was almost completely blocking the exit.
Lin felt that it was now very difficult to escape, and it might be more difficult to survive this time … If only there was a way out.
Lin looked at Rosalie. It was still in a state where it could not move. It might have hurt its bones or something …
Although Lin also felt that it would not have any weapons that could hurt the Void Bus cub.
In that case, she could only fight on her own.
The cub swung another tentacle at her. Lin dodged again, but the speed of the tentacle was much faster than before.
It hit the mechanical octopus's body and sent it flying backward. In the process of flying, Lin felt that most of the things on her body were damaged, and a few of her tentacles were broken.
After hitting the wall behind it, Lin felt that the mechanical octopus was almost unable to move.
In that case, she could only use one last trick, which was to let the Mini Susumi inside abandon the shell and go back to build a new machine.
The possibility of using this trick to escape was higher, but before that … Lin felt that there might be another way to test it.
That was to use this …
Lifting a severed tentacle, Lin aimed at the approaching Void Bus pup.
Bang! A small cube flew out from the broken tentacle and hit the Void Bus cub's shell.
This was the cube that Lin had previously read the Void Bus's neural structure. Perhaps this would be useful?
It seemed to be useful …
Lin saw that the cub's movements had stopped. It seemed to be suddenly shocked and did not move at all. Lin felt that the Void Bus's thoughts inside the cube must have affected it.
In fact, Lin was not sure if it could affect it, but if it could, it should … return to normal.
It seemed that it was indeed as Lin thought. The cub moved again, but it did not continue to attack. Instead, it kept swinging its tentacles around.
This was … how they looked when they were confused. (To be continued.)
