A bed that traverses countless worlds

"It's here!" Lin Yu shouted in a low voice. A blue beam of energy shot out from the depths of the energy chamber and rushed straight towards him.

He rolled sharply to the side, narrowly avoiding the beam of light.

The ground was struck by the beam of light and instantly shattered, sending debris flying everywhere.

"Wow, this thing is really powerful!" Lin Yu dusted himself off and muttered.

The power of the energy beam far exceeded his expectations, which made him even more cautious.

He steadied himself and looked in the direction from which the energy beam was coming, vaguely seeing a huge metallic figure moving slowly deep inside the energy room.

"It seems that the real challenge has just begun."

Without further hesitation, Lin Yu quickly passed through the energy room and arrived at a huge metal door.

This door is the entrance to the control hall.

He took a deep breath and pushed the door open forcefully.

The control hall was brightly lit, with various instruments and equipment flashing colorful lights, exuding a futuristic and technological feel.

In the center of the hall, a huge combination lock stood prominently on the control panel, gleaming with a cold light.

Lin Yu looked at the combination lock in front of him, and his heart sank.

He knew that this combination lock was the key to controlling the entire energy system, and his only hope of repairing it and leaving this hellish place.

"This thing looks a bit tricky..." Lin Yu stroked his chin, his brows furrowed.

The combination lock was far more complex than he had imagined; the dense array of symbols and numbers on it made his scalp tingle.

Just then, a clear voice rang in his ear: "Need any help?"

Lin Yu turned his head and saw that the mechanical girl Ellie had been standing next to him at some point.

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the control panel, and the symbols on the combination lock began to change rapidly.

"You... can crack passwords?" Lin Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

“Of course.” Ellie smiled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of confidence.

However, this scene was witnessed by Su Yao, Aisha, and Alice.

They were already wary of this suddenly appearing mechanical girl, and now seeing her interacting so intimately with Lin Yu, a strange jealousy ignited in their hearts.

Su Yao bit her lip tightly, while Aisha looked aggrieved and on the verge of tears.

Alice haughtily raised her chin and snorted coldly, as if expressing her disdain for the mechanical girl.

Lin Yu sensed the subtle change in the surrounding atmosphere and inwardly cried out in alarm.

He quickly explained, "I just asked her to take a look..."

However, his explanation had no effect and only made the three girls more dissatisfied.

Su Yao sneered, "Oh, you've found new helpers so quickly? Looks like the rest of us are superfluous."

"I..." Lin Yu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

Just then, Ellie suddenly spoke up: "Alright, I've found a way to crack the password."

"So fast?" Lin Yu was somewhat incredulous.

“Of course.” Ellie smiled confidently. “This is a piece of cake for me.”

Ellie's slender fingers danced rapidly across the control panel, and the symbols on the combination lock changed quickly in response.

Just when everyone thought the password was about to be cracked, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded from the control panel...

The shrill alarm echoed through the control room, while red warning lights flashed wildly, like the eyes of a demon, staring intently at Lin Yu as if mocking his incompetence.

The air in the hall suddenly froze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Lin Yu scratched his hair in frustration, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Ellie's slender fingers danced rapidly across the control panel, leaving afterimages, but the symbols on the combination lock remained unresponsive, still flashing with a cold light, as if mocking their efforts.

"No, the encryption method of this combination lock is too complicated. My program can't crack it." Ellie's tone was tinged with helplessness.

Su Yao sneered from the side, "Oh, it seems this 'expert' is nothing special after all."

Aisha looked at Lin Yu with a worried expression: "Brother Lin Yu, what should we do?"

Even the usually proud Alice couldn't help but say, "It seems we've all been fooled by this mechanical creation."

Lin Yu ignored their sarcasm and worries, staring intently at the combination lock, his mind racing.

Vague clues about the mechanical engineer ghost kept surfacing in his mind: "Go against the grain... energy core... reverse flow..."

"Go against the grain?" Lin Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, abruptly raised his head, pushed Ellie aside, and said firmly, "Let me try!"

He took a deep breath and began to work rapidly on the control panel.

Instead of trying to crack the code like Ellie did, he did the opposite and began manipulating the energy flow on the control panel, reversing the flow of energy into the combination lock.

"Are you crazy?" Ellie exclaimed. "This will damage the combination lock!"

Su Yao, Aisha, and Ellie all stared at Lin Yu in shock, not understanding what he was going to do.

However, Lin Yu ignored him and continued to manipulate the flow of energy.

As energy was input in reverse, the symbols on the combination lock began to change, flashing faster and faster until they emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire control hall.

"This..." Ellie's eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Su Yao, Aisha, and Ellie were also dumbfounded; they had never seen such a magical sight before.

Suddenly, the light faded, the symbols on the combination lock stopped flashing, and a new symbol appeared in the center of the screen.

"It's done?" Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

"What symbol is this?" Ellie asked curiously.

Lin Yu didn't answer. He reached out his finger and gently touched the symbol...

The moment Lin Yu's fingertip touched the symbol, a deep rumble echoed in the control hall, as if a sleeping behemoth was awakening.

The lights on the control panel lit up one by one, and various instruments and equipment began to operate, emitting a buzzing sound.

The giant screen in the center of the hall also lit up, displaying a complex system diagram.

Become!

Lin Yu felt a surge of satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment welled up within him.

"How about that? Aren't I awesome?" He turned to look at the three girls, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"Tch, who knows if it's just a lucky guess?" Su Yao said, but a hint of admiration was in her eyes.

She had to admit that Lin Yu's actions just now were indeed very impressive.

Aisha looked at Lin Yu with admiration: "Brother Lin Yu, you're so amazing!"

Even the usually arrogant Alice nodded slightly, acknowledging Lin Yu's abilities.

Lin Yu smiled and explained, "Actually, I just had a sudden inspiration. I remembered the mechanical engineer Ghost's hint, and then combined it with Ellie's analysis to find a way to crack the code. So, it's actually the result of teamwork." He emphasized "teamwork" in the hopes of alleviating the three girls' jealousy.

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you." Su Yao snorted coldly, her expression softening slightly.

Aisha burst into laughter through her tears and hugged Lin Yu's arm tightly: "I knew Brother Lin Yu was the best!"

Ellie stood aside, quietly watching all of this.

"Alright, now is not the time to celebrate. We have more important things to do." Lin Yu patted Aisha's hand, signaling her to let go of him.

He walked to the giant screen and carefully observed the system diagram.

He knew that his next step was to go to the machinery production workshop to find the key parts for repairing the energy system.

“The machine production workshop? That place is fraught with danger…” Ellie warned.

“I know, but we have to go.” Lin Yu’s eyes were firm. “To leave here, to…” He paused, not finishing his sentence, but took a deep breath and strode towards a metal door deep inside the control hall.

"Let's go!"
