"They're trying to make us lose our bearings …"
Lin and the gelatinous creature's army … were advancing through the endless void.
Although there appeared to be nothing here, the feeling of advancing through this place was similar to … moving through a maze.
Fear pervaded their surroundings, which was why this place was called the Fear Zone. But it didn't just trigger fear.
It also triggered other … information. False information.
Right now, every soldier in Lin's army was receiving various kinds of information with all their senses other than sight.
Strange noises echoed in this place. One moment, it sounded like some kind of creature was screaming, the next moment, it sounded like a bomb was exploding. At the same time, there was a strange smell.
Although this place was the void, the Fear energy could still fill these senses with various kinds of information.
At the same time, Lin was also able to use one of her detection methods to detect the presence of gigantic objects in the vicinity. They were right in front of her, next to her, or anywhere else, but another detection method wouldn't be able to detect these gigantic objects. Instead, she would only be able to detect a cluster of tiny, dense objects.
But from the visual point of view, there was nothing here … Lin noticed that the things that every soldier's senses detected were conflicting with each other. They were constantly providing different kinds of information … only the vision provided was real.
Even if the rational part of her mind knew this, due to the conflict with other senses, moving forward became quite difficult … Simply put, it was a situation similar to this … even if she didn't see anything, she would immediately stop moving because she suddenly felt that there might be a bomb in front of her.
The gel creatures' troops. It was quite obvious that this was the case. Lin noticed from the very beginning that their troops would occasionally stop, then immediately advance, then stop again.
Clearly, they were receiving a very strong interference.
Lin didn't receive such interference. She could quickly analyze the erroneous information, but she still maintained the same speed as the gel creatures.
This was because Lin felt that something might happen next. In their current state, they would be vulnerable to attack. Although there were no troops here yet.
The main reason was that there were no miniature machines here. It was just pure Fear energy. These energies didn't have any direct destructive power, but if they were hiding some kind of weapon …
"Found it …" Suddenly, among the countless erroneous information, Lin received a message from the gel creatures. At the same time, Lin noticed that the ten gel warships among their troops suddenly accelerated and flew forward. After flying for about 30 kilometers, they stopped.
The moment they stopped, Lin saw that in the void where there was originally nothing. Suddenly, a … huge object appeared.
Lin felt that it had been 'hidden' here all along, but revealed itself the moment the gel warship touched it.
The object looked like … a mirror. Its shape was irregular like a rock, but its surface reflected the light of the stars. It was more than ten kilometers long. It was even bigger than the largest combined base from before.
But it. It didn't seem to be able to attack. Lin had sent out her pompoms to explore before, but she hadn't encountered this thing. Lin felt that it should be able to move.
The few gelatinous battleships that had just touched it flew back and sent out a message at the same time. "Destroy it."
"Wait a minute." At the same time, she had an attack rock fly towards the mirror-like object, then lightly touched it to examine its … contents.
The moment he touched it, his senses, which were filled with false information before he attacked the stone, suddenly became … incredibly clear.
The false information from before had all disappeared.
What replaced it was … another kind of information.
The composition of the mirror. It was a structure similar to the Dream Rock that could store dream energy. Lin felt that this thing was not … made by those micro-machines.
Because its composition was very different from the micro-machines that Lin had discovered before. But most importantly, this mirror could also receive some … images.
It was an image of the 'ocean', or in other words, an image of the water sphere. But this time, it wasn't the surface of the water sphere, but rather … the interior of the water sphere.
The interior of the water sphere was also like the ocean, with a vast body of water and no other scenery … but Lin found that was not all. She could also … adjust the image downwards. In other words, she could observe deeper into the water.
Lin slowly adjusted the image downwards. As she did so, the gelatinous creatures appeared to be very cooperative. They didn't question her, nor did they attack her.
But they didn't stay where they were either. Some of them had begun to move to other places to search.
All of Lin's troops stayed where they were. At the same time, Lin was also paying attention to the situation in the image. As Lin adjusted the image downwards, although she could see deeper, the brightness of the image remained the same, as if it was always close to the surface of the water.
Although Lin could see further and further away from the surface of the water, as she dove deeper, Lin slowly discovered … some scenery. This is … a mountain?
Lin found that there were many … mountains below. The tops of these mountains were flat and round. Their size was unclear because there was nothing in the image that could be used as a scale.
But these mountains should be very big. Lin could only see a small part of the top of the mountain. The mountains extended all the way to the depths of the ocean, but she couldn't tell how deep the ocean was.
As Lin adjusted the image, she slowly approached the top of a mountain. The ground on the top of the mountain appeared to be made of common rocks, but it seemed to have been flattened by something. The top of the mountain was very smooth.
But this smooth mountain top … had nothing.
Lin felt that she should go further down the mountain. But just as she was thinking that, a series of noises suddenly came from the top of the mountain.
Yes … there were noises here. When the noises came, a large number of bubbles appeared on the smooth surface of the mountain top. But these bubbles didn't float up. Instead, they all seemed to be stuck to the ground.
Crack. At that moment, a crack appeared in the center of the smooth mountain top. Lin looked through the crack and saw pure darkness inside. At the same time, Lin also had another feeling.
That was … fear. And some … information. These were all transmitted to Lin's mind when she saw the crack on the mountain. It seemed that this was deliberately sent to Lin by the fear energy.
The fear energy wanted to tell Lin one thing … they came through there. This mountain was actually something like a 'tunnel'.
The fear energy first came here through there. In other words … this mountain led to the Unforeseen Land?
But the fear energy couldn't return through there. So they used the method of controlling micro-machines to create a collapsing phenomenon to return to the Unforeseen Land.
But what was the meaning of this information? Or perhaps it was just some fake information with a purpose to deceive … But what was it trying to deceive?
It seemed like it was purely to explain that they came here through the mountains in the water sphere. Regardless, Lin remembered it. If she had the chance to go to the water sphere in the future, she would see if there were these mountains at the bottom … Then, Lin continued her exploration from before.
Because other than these mountains, the image seemed to be able to reach many other places, so Lin continued to move down the mountain. This way, she should be able to reach the bottom of the sea.
After moving down for a while, Lin discovered many strange things on the hillside. These things looked like … … ice crystals.
They grew on the mountain top in pieces. At first, they were scattered and sparse, but became denser as she went down.
Lin didn't know what these things were, but they shouldn't be ice, although they looked very similar.
A little further down, the mountain top almost became a forest of 'ice crystals'. They were densely packed all over, and Lin also saw some moving objects.
These objects were very similar to … tree roots. They were very long and were moving quickly through the ice crystal forest. Sometimes, they would roll up a piece of ice crystal and break it. Then, they would assemble the broken pieces and make another ice crystal.
It was a very strange movement, and Lin felt that these tree roots were very similar to the Creator's tree roots. However, these tree roots … weren't connected to any body. They were moving alone. Although they were called tree roots, they were actually worms or something, just that they didn't have any organs on their surface.
Lin continued her exploration. She found that the mountain was getting wider and wider, and the forest of ice crystals was also getting bigger. There were many tree roots moving around, and Lin found that they were all responsible for adjusting the appearance of the ice crystals. Most of the time, they were just fiddling with it a little, such as adjusting the position of the ice crystals or moving them to another place.
Occasionally, they would break the ice crystals and reassemble them.
Currently, Lin didn't know what they were doing, but one thing was certain, these tree roots weren't … wild creatures.
They were part of a collective, and their task was to adjust and maintain the ice crystals.
And these ice crystals also had some functions. Lin tried to touch them to see if there was any explanation, but there was no explanation at the moment.
Perhaps the fear energy didn't know everything, or it just didn't want to say anything.
Just as Lin was exploring these things, she suddenly received a signal from the gel creatures … They said that they had found more things similar to giant mirrors.
At the same time, they also said that they wanted to destroy all these giant mirrors, because the mirrors should be objects carrying the fear energy. (To be continued.)
