"I don't know! That's what it said! That's what it told me … that's how that place was destroyed! "
Inside a … building.
Whether it was the ground or the walls, they were all shiny silver. But this place was empty, without any furniture.
There was only a fluffy ball and a creature.
The creature itself … was also silver.
It had six limbs and a crescent-shaped body, like a metal beetle.
It was more than one meter in size. Not long ago, this creature had communicated with Lin.
However, this communication wasn't voluntary. Instead, it communicated with Lin out of fear.
These creatures could be said to be a group of creatures that worshipped the Torrential Ball. They were made of solid metal shells … and liquid body parts.
Not long ago, this group of creatures was so scared by the terror released by the Bus of Pain that they hid in the building, not daring to come out.
Even though the Torrential Ball was now far away from the Bus of Pain, they still did not dare to come out.
So Lin did some research on them … and Lin found that they seemed to know a lot of things.
For example, they knew a lot about the Torrential Ball.
Through this creature, Lin learned about the history of the dangerous containers that the Torrential Ball left on the Bus of Pain.
But after Lin opened the containers, she found that there was a large amount of pain stored inside.
To be precise, the small dots of light stored inside the containers were something that could release a large amount of pain signals.
Because she felt it was strange, Lin asked this creature.
"No, I don't know! That's all I know! "
And this creature had been saying this all along.
In fact, it was telling Lin all this because Lin threatened it.
They hid here because once they went out, they would feel extreme pain from the message released by the Bus of Pain.
And since Lin could make the fluffy ball simulate this painful message, she could also directly make it feel extreme pain.
Under the fear of pain, it was willing to reveal a lot of things to Lin.
Their race had lived on the Torrential Ball for a long time … and they also had a deep understanding of the Torrential Ball.
They had also studied every world that the Torrential Ball came into contact with. From them, Lin could learn a lot about the Torrential Ball … but what Lin was most concerned about was the containers.
No matter how the creature threatened it, it would only say that it did not know.
Since that was the case, she had to directly examine its thinking structure.
At the same time, Lin also found something … strange on the other side.
…
This place seems to be … there?
One of Lin's pompoms, about 100 meters in diameter, was floating in the void.
In front of this velvet ball was … an object.
This thing was about 300 kilometers in length and width, and 100 kilometers in thickness.
It looked like a floating platform in the void.
Normally, it wouldn't be strange to see such a thing in the void, but Lin's current location was … the Land of Pain.
Earlier, Ershi had sensed a strong 'pain reaction' in this place. Of course, Lin had sensed it as well.
That was why Lin came here to investigate.
The pompom slowly floated closer to the object.
When she got closer, she saw that the 'platform' looked like … the place she had heard about before.
After descending to the surface, Lin could see that the ground here was filled with … crystals.
These crystal-like transparent objects were scattered on the ground like sharp needles.
Between the crystal needles, there were many creatures roaming about.
These creatures were shaped like jellyfish. They slowly crawled on the ground, completely ignoring Lin's arrival.
And so, Lin scattered a large number of miniaturized troops on the ground and began to investigate everything in this place.
First, it was these … jellyfish-like creatures. Then, it was all the structures here.
After inspecting for a while, Lin discovered something very interesting.
This place … could be called a 'place of pain energy'.
Every crystal needle-like object here was actually made up of a material that could store dreamscape energy.
And each of them was filled with energy. This energy was … pain energy.
Pain energy was also a type of dream energy. Lin found that it seemed to be inexhaustible here.
Lin tried extracting the pain energy from these needles, but found that they would automatically fill up with energy.
It seemed that no matter how much she extracted, it would be the same.
The surrounding jellyfish-like creatures were also doing the same thing.
They themselves were a kind of material that could store the energy of dreams … living beings.
Strangely, Lin noticed that they relied on pain energy to survive.
There were many microorganisms living inside these jellyfish-like creatures.
Lin found that these microorganisms had established … a society inside the jellyfish.
They would communicate with each other, trade, and even have a monetary structure, laws, and so on … these were relatively common systems among individual creatures.
But Lin found that they did not notice that they were living inside a jellyfish. They moved about in some of the tiny tubes and sacc-like organs inside the jellyfish. They believed that the whole world was that big.
Jellyfish, on the other hand, moved about outside. Jellyfish would often suck in some of the debris on the ground. But jellyfish did not eat these debris. These debris were the food of these microorganisms.
When there were enough microorganisms inside the jellyfish, the jellyfish would absorb pain energy from the surrounding crystals.
The pain energy would quickly cause all the microorganisms to die painfully.
After their tragic deaths, the jellyfish would absorb all the microorganisms' corpses as nutrients.
The jellyfish itself would also feel pain during this process. But Lin found that it could endure it.
And these microorganisms would not be completely destroyed. Because their young had not yet developed a brain structure, they did not have feelings of pain.
After the adult microorganisms were completely destroyed, their young would slowly grow up and form a 'society' again.
Then, the jellyfish would wait for them to grow up and … eat them.
This strange cycle continued inside the jellyfish. Lin found it very interesting.
Because there were actually creatures that used pain energy.
Then where was this place …
After some research, Lin believed that this should be the place that the creature living on the Torrential Sphere had mentioned.
This might have once been … a world where many 'explosive materials' came out.
As for why it became like this, it still needed to be investigated.
