“You walk through a shrubbery of stone of all shapes and colors.”

"You drift with the wind in the water, and the gently swaying wind blows you to an unknown distance."

"You know, you can swim freely in this world. The water doesn't hinder your movement. It's just a cradle, gently rocking your body."

"Once, twice..."

A gentle and calm voice sounded softly in my ears.

Lingke began to imagine that the place where she lived was no longer the city called Beloberg, but a world flooded by water.

As the words came out, Lingke's heart gradually immersed itself in that imaginary world.

Then, at some unknown moment, she suddenly woke up from her dream.

slam-la-

She opened her eyes.

One by one, creatures, some big and some small, shaped like spindles with eyes on both sides, swam past in front of him, swinging their tails.

Rays of sunlight, like beams of light, fall from above our heads.

The ocean flowed through her fingers like the softest veil.

"This is the charm of life. No matter how harsh the environment is, life will find a way out." Ruan Mei chuckled, and a fish with colorful scales kissed her fingertips.

Where Ling Ke couldn't see, Ruan Mei shook her hands behind her back slightly, and a huge black shadow flashed in the ocean current without causing a ripple.

Chapter 20 Jumping Log

Unknown time, Yalilo VI, an abandoned laboratory.

The crisp sound of footsteps broke the long-sealed silence of the laboratory. The black-haired woman rolled her eyes, looking at this secret room that had been there for who knows how long.

The messy floor, the broken table, the yellowed book covers...dust was everywhere. Sunlight shone into the house through the glass on the ceiling, and particles in the air could be seen floating.

Ruan Mei's gaze swept across the room and finally landed on a large robot about three meters tall standing in the corner.

Ruan Mei walked over.

When he stepped within two meters of the robot, a dim red light lit up in the robot's eyes.

"Visitor... detected, identity... authenticated, unknown." It seemed like it hadn't been running for a long time, and the creaking sound of gears rang out along with the discordant mechanical sound.

"Warning, according to the Laboratory Management Regulations, leave this area immediately, otherwise this machine will activate the active defense program."

"Hasn't it developed intelligence yet?" Ruan Mei looked at the robot's rusty shell, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. "It seems the time has not come yet."

As the words fell, Ruan Mei's figure gradually became illusory until it disappeared, and the laboratory returned to silence.

……

On the eve of the attack on the Black Tower Space Station, in No Man's Land, Ruan Mei's laboratory.

"It's really not easy to meet you, ma'am," the golden-haired young man said with a bright smile. "Luckily, I happened to meet Miss Holhaiya, who was looking for materials for you, and was able to find out your whereabouts."

"I am deeply grateful to Ms. Ruan Mei for taking the time to receive me."

"Ah, I forgot you didn't want to listen to these time-wasting pleasantries, so I'll get straight to the point."

The blond young man touched his chest with his left hand. "My name is Luosha. I am just a traveling merchant. As for the purpose of coming here, I want to negotiate a deal with you."

"I hope you can save someone for me."

Ruan Mei's eyes flickered slightly: "With your abundant power, can't you do this?"

"Haha, Ms. Ruan Mei, you're joking. Looking at the entire universe, you are the only one who can save her from the flames of destruction." Luosha smiled without changing his expression.

"As a bargaining chip, I can provide you with an opportunity, a chance to kill a Star God. And this is my deposit."

"What do you think?"

"...the wreckage of Taizi Yuros." Ruan Mei's eyes fell on the deposit in Luosha's hand, and then she nodded, "Okay, I agree to this deal."

"Ms. Ruan Mei is indeed a quick-witted person. I'll send you the coordinates right away. As for the more specific details, I'll reveal them to you later when I have free time."

The young man turned and left, and a coordinate was sent to Ruan Mei's device.

……

Unknown coordinates.

The wreckage of the ship was scattered throughout the universe, turning into the most common space junk. On the relatively intact hull, a mark could be seen on it.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, she is the only one found inside." Holhaiya flew out of the wreckage of the ship holding a fox woman with fox ears on her head and a furry tail behind her butt.

"Yeah." Ruan Mei nodded, her eyes falling on the fox woman held in Hol Haiya's arms.

That charming little face was now colorless due to pain, her long eyelashes were trembling constantly, and on her chest, the scars of destruction continued to spread outward, and the most terrifying destructive force in the world was eroding her body.

She was tortured from soul to body, and everything was just a plan of an extinction lord.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, is she really still alive?" Hol Haiya said. In her opinion, the fox man in her arms was actually dead.

Her breathing stopped, her heart stopped beating, and coldness spread throughout her limbs. The blessing of life seemed to have left her long ago. Her current reactions were nothing more than the body's reactions caused by the stimulation of electrical signals.

Just like a corpse suddenly sitting up, it does not mean that the person is still alive.

"The Lord of Extinction needed to steal her identity. So, although her body and spirit were destroyed, she was ultimately saved from the annihilation of her true self." Ruan Mei reached out and gently touched the fox woman's brow. A ray of light penetrated her body, and the fox woman's expression became slightly calmer. "Alright, let's go back."

Hol Haiya glanced at the fox woman in her arms. She felt the person in her arms suddenly have a very weak heartbeat.

Shaking his head, Holhaiya caught up with Ruan Mei's departing figure.

……

After the attack on the Black Tower Space Station, Yalilo VI, underground.

"Ah! There is someone here, a big sister? Big sister! It's very dangerous here, big sister, you'd better go back quickly." The little girl with white hair, bare feet and red eyes ran over quickly and said to the black-haired woman she suddenly saw in the ruins.

"...Clara?"

"Huh? Big Sister, you know my name?" Clara tilted her head, then shook it. "This isn't the place to talk. There are many Rift Creatures roaming around here. It's very dangerous. Big Sister, you should hurry back to Rock Town."

"If there are so many monsters here, why are you hanging around here?"

"Clara has friends with her, so she's not afraid of those monsters, right?" Clara patted the machines around her.

"Defense protocol, protect Clara."

"Clara won't be threatened."

"We have prepared for the worst."

The three robots, like traffic lights, spoke to each other, and although their words were a little messy, they all expressed their determination to defend Clara.

"Well... Big sister, you suddenly came to Rivet Town. I think you have your own ideas, right?" Clara looked up at the woman and asked.

"I'm looking for a machine."

"A machine? Is it a lost machine?" Clara's expression became even gentler. "Is that so? Then I'll help you find it. Once you find it, you can leave here, okay?"

“Heh…” Seeing that Clara misunderstood her meaning, Ruan Mei raised the corners of her mouth and let out a smile, but she did not explain too much because the result was the same, “Okay.”

"Big sister, can you describe the machine you are looking for?" Clara asked.

"It looked like the machine next to you," Ruan Mei recalled. She vaguely remembered that although it was a larger Grizzly-model self-defense robot, its parts had long been replaced through daily work. "But it could have been something else."

"Ah..." Clara was a little embarrassed. After all, if she didn't specify the model, there would be too many mechas in Rivet Town.

"But its code name is Pascal." Ruan Mei continued.

"Is that so? Then I'll try it first." Clara nodded.
