The criminal record of the culprit: Blew up two buildings, killed ten cellular creatures, and threatened the guide to hand over the ship that could fly out of the system. Therefore, it was imprisoned forever, and any creature that came here could cause harm to it, including death, at will.
"… Does this mean … we can 'harm' it as we wish?"
The Blood Mist was standing in a place called … Prison.
In front of it was a transparent wall, and behind the wall was a large piece of … metal.
It looked like a fruit called 'durian'. Its body was covered in sharp thorns, and its shell was glowing silver. Some parts of it had cracks, and a colorful liquid flowed out.
The silver 'durian' was about three meters in size, and it was in a cell that fit it well.
The description written under the cell indicated that the durian was a vicious criminal. It had blown up houses, killed other species, and even threatened the guide.
Although it didn't look like it had that kind of ability.
"There are many of these criminals." Cryopteris stood beside the Blood Mist and looked at the durian in the cell. "I've read the information before. Most of them are locked up here, and species that come to visit have the right to kill them."
The Blood Mist said, "This way of doing things … is really strange."
"This is what we're looking for." Cryopteris raised its forelimb. It held a small object in its forelimb. It pressed the object against the durian, and a beeping sound was heard.
The Blood Mist asked, "Why … are we looking for this?"
"Because we can't use a ship. We need to find a suitable machine here and build it into a teleportation point." Cryopteris said, "As long as we use suitable materials to form a suitable shape, we can use a ship to build it from a long distance. After that, we can contact the Inca insects and they can teleport here."
"You can do that?" The Blood Mist was surprised.
"That's right." Cryopteris said, "We're just using the creature here as a portal to transport energy. There are many mechanical creatures here, and we can execute them as we wish. The material on its body is suitable, so let's execute it."
The Blood Mist asked, "But after we execute it, can we still go to its cell and assemble it?"
"Don't worry about that!" The Scorpion shouted, "Let's execute it quickly!"
As it spoke, it pressed down on a certain spot under the cell. Suddenly, the cell exploded with a boom.
The impact of the explosion caused the three creatures outside the cell to fall to the ground. When they got up and looked inside the cell … they saw that the durian had turned into a pile of silver paste.
"Looks like we can't use it." Cryopteris glanced at the paste and said, "Let's find something else."
Blood Mist glared at Scorpion and said, "… It's all because you're too stupid. What punishment?"
"What?" Scorpion was furious. "Do you want me to execute you here?"
"Don't shout!" The Blood Mist wanted to say something, but Cryopteris' voice made it stop. "Next time, slow down. Just execute it slowly."
"We can execute it slowly?" The Blood Mist looked at the cell from before and realized … The Scorpion had pressed the option of 'instant explosion' and other options, including 'slow decomposition'.
It seemed like the Primordial realm expert who designed this cell was very cruel.
Afterwards, the Blood Mist and the Scorpion continued to follow Cryopteris into the depths of the cell. They saw various cells. Although the cells here seemed to be made of stone, they were actually made of a very tough material. The transparent wall in front of the cell was the same. No matter how large and strange the creatures inside were, they could not break through it.
However, most of the creatures they saw were cellular creatures and some creatures with crystalline shells. The crimes of these creatures were very similar to the durian at the beginning. Normally, they would be guilty of killing other creatures. However, there would be special crimes from time to time, such as' attempting to reproduce 'or' attempting to modify the tour ship '.
Their punishment was the same. They would be locked up here forever, and the visitors could do whatever they wanted to them.
It was this very … cruel punishment that caused the creatures here to be listless. They basically showed fear and numbness towards the visitors.
As more and more cells were visited, Cryopteris' group entered the depths of the prison. They still did not see any mechanical creatures here.
"There were clearly a lot of them where we lived …" The Blood Mist looked at a cell and said, "Why are there so few here?"
"Maybe it's because of their type." Cryopteris said, "The definition of mechanical creatures is still unclear. In any case, they are something like an AI system. Therefore, they will act based on pure rationality. Since they do not have emotions like 'emotional impulses', their crime rate is much lower … The first one might be an exception."
"But that Courage System seems to be emotional." The Blood Mist said, "What's wrong with it?"
"It's actually also acting on pure rationality." Cryopteris said, "The decisions it makes are all … it's here?"
Cryopteris stopped before a cell. Inside this cell was a creature that had the body of an emerald dragon, but its face was a display screen.
"Ah! That idiot! "The Scorpion shouted at the cell," That idiot is here! It's still alive! "
"You …" The display screen beeped with a bright red light. The Courage System stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I want to ask you the same thing." Cryopteris said.
"I … don't have a problem telling you." The Courage System briefly explained its encounter. It and a group of emerald dragons left Tranquil Town on a boat. The 'tour guide' on the boat said that they would be arranged to live in another place. However, the emerald dragons were dissatisfied. They felt that the tour guide should give them an explanation as to why they were trapped in Tranquil Town for so long. Because the tour guide did not tell them, they started to cause a ruckus on the boat.
Then, they were all captured. Together with the Courage System, who did not cause a ruckus, they were all imprisoned.
"That's how it works." Cryopteris said, "Then we will use you to do something, so we will start to disintegrate you."
As it spoke, the Explosive Roar Worm prepared to press the button below the cell door.
"Why?" The Courage System quickly asked, "Why do you want to disintegrate me? I'm not guilty! "
"This has nothing to do with whether you're guilty or not. However, if we're talking about what happened in the Abandoned World, you really are guilty … to us." Cryopteris pressed the button as he spoke. Suddenly, the transparent wall of the cell disappeared.
"Huh?" Blood Mist was stunned. "Why did you open it?"
"Yes, it has to be opened." Cryopteris said, "I pressed the option of 'personally executing the crime', so the wall will open and we will personally execute the crime. That way, we can disassemble it and then reassemble it."
"Huh … you're right."
Scorpion shouted, "What's right? Idiot, hurry up and kill it!"
"…" Blood Mist glanced at Scorpion. However, he still controlled the mechanical water puppet to pounce on the Courage System in the cell.
The Courage System immediately retreated. However, its body was not fast enough. It was pressed to the ground by Blood Mist in an instant.
"No! You can't do this! Keep me, I'll be very useful! "
"I'll only be useful if I disassemble you." Blood Mist ignored the System's pleas. He pressed down all the System's limbs and began to use his smaller forelimbs to reach the System's body.
"That's right. Follow my instructions and disassemble it bit by bit."
Under Cryopteris' instructions, Blood Mist began to disassemble the Courage System's body. Although the System constantly struggled, its weak strength was completely ignored.
"The structure is similar to what I imagined …"
The System's outer shell was disassembled piece by piece by Blood Mist. They both discovered that there were many mechanical structures under the shell.
"Speaking of which, why did the Primordial Realm allow this system to mix with the Tranquil Emerald Dragons?" Blood Mist asked as he disassembled, "Did the Primordial Realm create this mechanical body for it?"
"It should be." Cryopteris said, "And this system might not be the original one. It might just be a copy. No matter what, it can be used to create a teleportation point."
"Can such a small thing really teleport such a large swarm?" Scorpion asked.
"Teleportation is done through a ship." Cryopteris said, "Using this system is just to set up a teleportation point here. That way, the swarm will appear nearby when they arrive."
"What we're doing … doesn't seem to be noticed by the Primordial Realm," Blood Mist said.
"Perhaps they noticed, but they didn't stop us," Cryopteris said, "They know … the final battle will come sooner or later."
While they were chatting, the Blood Mist slowly turned the entire Courage System into a pile of parts, then reassembled it into something completely different from what it was before.
The only thing that remained the same was the screen-like face. This was the part that Blood Mist had not disassembled.
