"This is it. Fluffy, you've succeeded. Now, you can try to release me."
"Are you sure this is considered a success?"
This was a certain place in the distant void, a prison in the Creator's reality.
Although this place was heavily guarded by the Brain Soul, Lin and the Creator had been trying to unravel the secret of this place. Because the Creator really wanted to escape from this place.
Using a special connection in the dream, Lin was able to control some of the machines near the Creator.
Usually, the machines she controlled were the small machines around the Creator, but now, Lin had successfully controlled one machine, the door.
The door to the Creator's room was a very complicated thing. Normally, it looked like a gate that could be lowered or raised, but after controlling it, Lin found that the door was made up of a large number of machine 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.
Right now, Lin was using the machines inside the door to make some sounds, communicating with the Creator at the center of the room.
Meanwhile, the 'creator' used the unique changes in its skin. The bark-like structure on its skin was able to produce certain sounds that Lin could hear from here as well.
Moreover, using this method of communication, the Brain Soul's cube didn't seem to notice. Because of this, Lin and the Creator created a new language in the dream. It was especially used to communicate here.
Click click click click. The sounds Lin was making meant: "How do you want to get out?"
"The way out is very simple. Of course, we can't go out directly, but we can cause some damage to them. Fluffy, your door can control many places, including some small machines beside me. "The bark on the creator's body was slowly moving, making a sound as 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 container that imprisoned the Creator, they looked like insects. Lin couldn't control them at all in the previous control tests.
But now, it seemed that these machines didn't have a Brain Soul, so there was no way to control them through the dream. They were controlled by the door.
Why do I need to control these small machines through a door? Probably because the Brain Spirit's thoughts are special.
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, Lin controlled the 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 that this was the case?
Under the shaking of the room, the other side of the door reacted.
Lin was currently controlling the door, so she could see the situation on the other side, which was outside the room. Outside the room was a very long passage, the passage was mainly made of metal, and there was nothing on the walls. It went on for a few dozen meters before turning a corner.
Lin now saw a large number of small cubes appear at the corner. These cubes quickly ran to the door, and Lin immediately controlled the door to rise.
As if not arousing their suspicions, the cubes ran to the creator's side and, like last time, surrounded the creator.
Crack. At the same time, the transparent cover that trapped the creator also rose. It seems that I have to take advantage of this opportunity.
Whoosh. Just like before, the cubes shot a large number of black spikes at the creator. At the moment when the spikes were shot, Lin slightly controlled the machine that absorbed the creator's cells. One of the spikes brushed against it, causing it to bounce off and fall into a corner of the room.
It seems 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 slumber.
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.
Just like before, the cubes 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 mechanical needle that bounced off before was still outside.
Then, what should I 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 try many times before she could regain control of the door.
But Lin noticed that the creator seemed to have left behind some words. Right now, the creator's skin was changing to express some kind of language.
The bark-like skin was pierced with a large number of needles, and after the needles 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 skin language. The creator could tell Lin certain information through the changes on its 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 on the creator's right. There were many small holes on the ground in that corner.
Those holes seemed to be for breathing. Although she didn't know if this place was the void or some other place, there was air, but there was probably no escape from that place.
However, Lin still followed the creator's instructions. She had 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.
"It seems that you've successfully completed your mission, fluffy."
The creator seemed to be quite excited in the dream. It said: "It won't be long before I can leave that place."
"Can your cells do that?" the velvet ball asked doubtfully.
"They aren't just cells, fluffy." the creator replied: "They are viruses."
The 'virus' velvet ball asked: "They're also effective against the brain spirit's machines?"
"Indeed, metal viruses, that's what I prefer to call them, but the name isn't important. Fluffy, they are a unique species that I found by chance. They can infect the brain spirit's metal" the creator explained: "As you know, there are many creatures in the brain spirit's army, some of them carry parasites that can harm themselves"
"These parasites will spread through some of the brain spirit's metals, causing damage to some of the systems around my prison. I'll then be able to take advantage of that"
Just like that, a few days passed.
During this time, Lin would frequently 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 some miraculous properties. Lin could see a strange color spreading from the ventilation hole from before. More and more colors were spreading, but the blocks didn't seem to react to it at all.
In the end, the wall around that corner of the room changed color. Its color became lighter and dimmer, but it didn't seem to have changed at all.
"That's right, you can't see any changes, fluffy, because this virus doesn't cause any damage to the brain spirits or their metals. That's why calling it a virus isn't necessarily accurate, but there's no other way to describe it either. "
"The only effect it can cause is to trap the brain spirits. The brain spirits in the machines it infects will be trapped, they won't be able to return to the dream, and the other brain spirits won't notice. Do you know what this means, fluffy?"
"They won't be able to communicate with their own kind, which will cause a huge problem. It's not obvious yet, but this problem will become obvious very soon."
The velvet ball asked: "Where did you get this virus?"
"This came from a unique creature. We'll discuss this after we leave, fluffy." The creator spoke: 「 Now, let us proceed to the next step of the plan and see if you can control the infected machines 」
Pompom continued to ask, "Where did you get this virus?"
"I told you before, Fluffy, after you left."
"Where did you get this virus?"
“”
"I got it from my mother, Fluffy." The creator said, "Its knowledge tells me that we are facing countless types of creatures, so we need countless ways to deal with them."
