Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

Chapter 73 Living People in the Spiritual World

As Shen Yu pushed open the rusty iron door, a damp and rotten smell hit him in the face. In the dead silence, only the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty aisle.

The wall paint peeled off, revealing the blackened wall material. The light bulb above the head was broken and it might fall off at any time.

The little knight followed in small steps, nodding his head and looking around, bringing a touch of warmth to the desolate scene.

Then Shen Yu stopped beside a classroom and pushed open the half-open door. He could only see small chairs placed in a messy manner and the windows, which had been closed for who knows how long, were covered with dust.

Hiss, this couldn't be the place I saw in the Nightmare Fire before. Shen Yu sighed as he looked at the familiar scene in front of him.

Then Shen Yu quietly closed the door, turned on EGO [Loneliness] which had transformed into a flashlight, and explored the abandoned building.

Not to mention rats, Shen Yu didn't even see a bug along the way, as if this place had already been dead.

Suddenly, Shen Yu caught a slight sound. The sound was very subtle, and if it weren't for his enhanced perception after his advancement, he would not have been able to detect it at all.

Then, Shen Yu realized that the sound seemed to come from the second floor. So he quickly moved towards the source of the sound and stopped outside a classroom door. The little knight followed suit and quickly chased after him on tiptoe.

When Shen Yu heard the mixed breathing inside, he suddenly stopped in front of the door and carefully felt it with his perception that had been upgraded to that of a [Master]. After confirming that the other party's breath was human, he suddenly flashed in.

Before the figure in the dark could react, Shen Yu grabbed the thin wrist and shone the flashlight directly on the other person's face.

He was an extremely thin middle-aged man, his skin stretched over his bones, almost transparent. He shielded the light with his other hand, his throat twitching and making a hoarse and strange cry.

Seeing this, Shen Yu immediately took off his employee badge and armband and put them in his pocket.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Shen Yu put down the flashlight, let go of the other person's wrist, and asked.

Then the man rolled back suddenly, hugging his knees and shaking. When his eyes recovered, he looked at Shen Yu in horror. Finally, his eyes stopped at the weapon on his waist.

After a long time, he slowly asked:

"who are you?"

I also want to ask you, judging from the test, the spiritual space will also have some connection with reality. Shen Yu thought about it, and then said:

"The person who takes over the commission."

"Commission, finisher?" The man pondered over the words in confusion, and then his eyes lit up.

"You know the exit... is it... to save us? Please save me. I don't know how I was brought to this damn place."

Help, is this guy real?

Shen Yu was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it, he realized that this was not possible.

Although he had met an employee in the Spider's Nest before, at that time he simply thought that he was sucked in after the Knight cut open the outer shell of reality.

But if you think about it carefully, there are probably humans in the other cocoons.

After all, the Abnormalities come from the primordial river/ocean, which contains the consciousness of all humans from the past to the future.

The Abnormal is the product of the collective subconscious.

When extracting the abnormality, it is possible to fish out the spirits of a few unlucky people from the river. However, will the final destination of these unlucky people be the mental space of the abnormality?

Thinking of this, Shen Yu nodded to the other party and said leisurely:

"Yes."

Hearing this, the man blinked, and suddenly stepped forward to grab Shen Yu's thigh, crying:

"There is no food here, but we can't starve to death. We can only endure endless hunger. When I get out, I will definitely repay you..."

"Calm down," Shen Yu patted the other person on the back and asked, "What were you doing before you came in?"

"I..." Hearing this, the man shrank back: "I'm working."

"What do you do for a living?"

"Responsible for sending some garbage to the suburbs for disposal." The man lowered his head unconsciously and looked at the ground.

"What rubbish?"

"It's just some non-recyclable materials," the man rubbed his hands subconsciously and curled up his body even more.

Seeing the other party's abnormal behavior, Shen Yu couldn't help but frowned, folded his hands and said:

"If you keep hesitating, I'll just leave you here."

"I say!" The man raised his head suddenly, but then lowered it again.

"Those non-recyclable garbage refers to 'children'. Some of them were abandoned because of disputes between wings, and some were abandoned after human experiments. My job is to take them to the suburbs and dispose of them."

"Is that so?" Shen Yu turned his head to look at the blackboard beside him, recalling the scene he had seen in the Nightmare Fire before.

It seems that this nameless strange baby is likely related to the children abandoned in the suburbs.

As for why it takes on the form of a baby, it may be because it desperately wants to return to the time when it was a baby before it was abandoned.

Because they were ruthlessly abandoned, what they yearn for deep down in their hearts is the time when they were babies held tightly in their parents' arms.

Coupled with the resentment of being abandoned, they are trapped in the twisted form of babies, screaming and crying endlessly, craving for flesh and blood while venting their anger towards adults.

However, this does not fit the characteristic of "nameless", perhaps there are other reasons.

At this time, Shen Yu looked at the timid man below, and after the other party noticed his gaze, he immediately explained:

"Please don't misunderstand me. I'm just a transporter. Besides, this is not a big deal in the city. I think you know that. Please believe me..."

"Besides you, who else are here?" Shen Yu interrupted the other party and asked.

"Yes, there are a group of people besides me. I will take you to see them now." The man stood up tremblingly, leaned against the wall to lead the way for Shen Yu, and glanced at the little knight beside him from time to time, and asked with a wry smile:

"Sir, your robot is really unique. I have never seen this kind of robot before."

"Yeah," Shen Yu nodded, "It cost a lot of money, but I can't talk."

"It's good that you can't talk. According to the order of the leader, non-human sentient beings are not allowed to exist in the city. It would be bad if the machine went crazy and said some nonsense, like that...

"Yes, that's the sentence. 'Since God created humans, and humans can doubt God, why do machines keep doubting humans?'"

Hearing this, Shen Yu suddenly stopped and suddenly remembered that the alien entity corresponding to the green test was a machine, and Dawn's name was "Question".

According to the setting, the test is related to the crises that the city has encountered in the past and the future. So does the green test represent the crisis of the robot?

The man laughed a few times, then fell silent when he saw that the other party did not respond. He pointed to the front and said:

"It's right in front."

The man led Shen Yu to a well-preserved door, pushed it open with difficulty, and then said excitedly:

"Everyone, someone is here to rescue us!"

But Shen Yu did not go in. He turned around and looked at the person in the shadows inside.

After being promoted to [Master], Shen Yu's senses became extremely sharp, and he could sense the strength of other people's auras. And there was a stronger guy inside.

So, Shen Yu restrained his breath, and then relied on his extreme control to transform his body into a weak state, then he brought the little knight in and looked at the surrounding scene.

There were some broken utensils piled up in the corner. Under the dim light, he saw a few simple beds, with the people lying on them looking haggard but expressionless, as if they were numb to everything.

The pupils of these survivors were dilated, their eyes were sluggish, their faces were ashen, and their weak breathing echoed in the deathly silence.

The moment they saw Shen Yu, they were stunned for a few seconds in confusion, then returned to their previous expressions, but some people looked greedily at the little knight behind them.

A man crawled towards the little knight behind Shen Yu, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, and muttered "food" to himself.

Then, a gunshot suddenly rang out. Everyone shuddered suddenly and then subconsciously covered their ears.

The man shrank back and stared at the smoking muzzle of the gun, then looked at the little knight and reluctantly crawled back to his original place.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the corner:

"Walker, where did that guy come from?"
