Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Why are all the performance mechanisms activated by themselves?" Korla looked at the scene in front of him, fear had already replaced thinking.

"Don't talk about this now, just run!" Tabak shouted.

He dragged Korla down the corridor, the sound of mechanical joints twisting and creaking behind him. He slammed open the door to the preparation room and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Run! The performance mechanism is going berserk!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a crackling sound behind him, and Taba pulled Korla to the ground.

Boom!

Metal fragments mixed with sawdust whizzed past overhead, instantly ripping the doorframe, which had been tightly closed, into a spiderweb of cracks. Tabak pressed down on Korla's back, his nose brushing against the dust on the floor. He could clearly hear the sharp sound of gears meshing as it spread along the corridor tiles.

Suddenly, the sirens blared loudly throughout the troupe. Even Funina, Kailin, Kelli, Monae, and the others in the dressing room suddenly became alert.

"What's going on? Why are the alarms going off?"

Funina hurried out of the dressing room, but ran into the runaway performance mechanism head-on.

Before she could recover from the shock, one of them ran straight towards her with a chainsaw.

"Wow!" Her pupils suddenly contracted.

The buzzing sound of the chainsaw was so close that Furninna instinctively closed her eyes.

clang!

The crisp sound of metal clashing hurt her eardrums. She trembled and opened her eyes, only to see Monae standing in front of her. In her hand was a relatively straight pistol, with a blade on the end like a short blade, firmly stuck in the teeth of the chainsaw.

Sparks flew onto her purple robe, leaving tiny scorch marks. However, she seemed oblivious to the sight and roared at the machine, "If you dare touch my Fu Fu, I'll tear you apart like a piece of iron!"

She shouted angrily, and the blade of the pistol instantly cut off the chainsaw. Then she grabbed another pistol in her other hand and shot directly at the retina of the machine while it was off guard.

boom!

The machine fell to the ground, but within a moment, it stood up again.

"No way, it actually restarted?" Karen asked in surprise.

"In that case, break it into parts and see if you can restart it!" Mona swung the other gun straight up, turning it into a short blade like the pistol in his left hand.

When she stepped up and prepared to tear the machine into pieces, Clara suddenly stopped her.

"Wait a minute, don't break it up, otherwise it will reassemble with other machines and become even bigger!" Clara warned.

Meng Nai turned around suddenly as if she had been splashed with a bucket of cold water: "No way, what should I do?"

"Take everyone out of the troupe first, and then discuss it!" said Keli.

Before he finished speaking, the sound of metal clashing suddenly came from deep in the corridor, and more runaway machines were pouring in from all directions.

"It's too late, let's go!" Zhao Heng said seriously.

Clara bumped her fists and said, "Okay, I'll lead the way for everyone!"

boom!

Clara punched a hole in the wall and led everyone directly to the audience seats in the front. However, people didn't take it seriously until Tabak and all the troupe members rushed to the front and shouted.

"Everyone, run! The performance machine has gone berserk!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience exploded.

The first to react were the young people in the front row. As they stood up, the curtains on both sides of the stage suddenly ripped apart! Three two-meter-tall mechanical monsters rushed out.

Seeing this, Mo Yan, Kailin and the other two drew their weapons and launched a fierce interception together with Clara, Monáe and Kelly.

Finina and everyone in the troupe evacuated the crowd and fled outside, but when the crowd arrived outside the troupe, many runaway security machines suddenly gathered on the street in front of them.

"Why is it here too?" Finina shrank her hands but still forced herself to remain calm.

Calm down, Funina, there must be another way. She shook her head violently and looked around in thought.

However, at this moment, a stone suddenly hit one of the security machines. The sound attracted the attention of almost all the security machines.

On the left side of the opera house, Taamba was holding a stone and yelling at the machines.

"Hey! You bunch of junks, I'm here, come on if you dare!"

Korla stood behind him and whispered, "Is this really okay? Robots are not like humans."

"We have to try it no matter what!" Taamba threw another stone, hitting the mechanical sensor. "They're out of control now, no different from wild beasts!"

Sure enough, all the machines turned towards them at the same time.

Seeing that the two had diverted the attention of the machines, Funina made up her mind and took all the spectators with her, and with the help of the law enforcement team that arrived, she gradually moved people to a safe area.

However, things always develop unexpectedly.

Not long after the machines were distracted by Taamba and Korla, they turned their attention back to the fleeing crowd. One of them raised its left arm and began to fire.

boom!

After the gunshot, the crowd was safe and sound, but the machine fell to the ground. When they looked up, it turned out to be Mona.

She stood on the eaves of the theater with two guns in her hands, her white and purple hair blown by the wind, and a faint blue smoke coming out of the muzzle of the gun.

"If you want to touch the people Fu Fu is protecting, ask the gun in my hand first if it allows you to do so!" She smiled and shouted to the people below, her fangs flashing sharply in the sunlight. Then she turned over and jumped down, firing her two guns alternately. Each bullet accurately shattered the sensor core of the machine.

At this time, Mo Yan and Kailin also rushed out of the theater with the rest of the audience. One of them fought in close combat with a sword, and the other fought in long-range combat with a gun, sweeping away all the surrounding machines.

Monae came to Kailin and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be good at using firearms, too. It seems we are quite similar!"

"Hmph, but I'm not a pervert like someone else." Karen snorted coldly.

Mo Yan struck down with his sword, and three more machines fell. But the good times didn't last long, as they reassembled at an astonishing speed. As more and more machines fell, the size of the reassembled machines grew larger and larger.

A strange red light flashed at the joints of the metal shell on the surface. Several barbed steel cables extended from the original joints, dragging on the ground like poisonous snakes, making a harsh scraping sound.

"It never ends!" Mo Yan's sword slashed across the leg of a machine, sparks flew but only a shallow dent was left.

"We can't go on like this. We must destroy the computing cores of all the machines to end this farce!" Mona said gritting his teeth.

"That's what they say, but where is their core?" Karen asked impatiently.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Funina's scream came from behind.

Everyone quickly turned around and saw a giant reassembled machine breaking free from Clara's obstruction and waving its spiked metal arms towards Finina.

The shadow instantly enveloped her. Furninna sat stiffly on the ground, her pupils shrinking suddenly as a shadow seemed to flash across them.
