Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Not long after, Shen Qinyin opened her eyes again and fixed her gaze on a certain location at the entrance of the villa area.

That is the underground parking lot of the Shuiyuan Bay villa complex, where some vehicles that are not equipped with private garages and external vehicles are parked.

Hiding in a place like that...

It seems that my guess is correct. That thing was severely damaged by the "lurker" and urgently needs to find a place to recuperate.

The underground parking lot is dark, spacious and without light, making it the perfect place for these sunlight-phobic entities.

Chapter 30: Kill the green haze!

The rusty iron door automatically twisted in front of Shen Qinyin, like tinfoil crumpled by an invisible hand.

When Xiaoxiang's alloy electric knife slashed across the door lock, the flying sparks left a strange blue-green trail in the morning mist.

In the square, empty parking lot, pale lights kept flickering, making this lonely underground space seem particularly creepy.

"An unknown magnetic field reaction has been detected, with the intensity exceeding the standard by 437%. The current remaining battery is 23%. Strategic mode can be activated for one hour. It is recommended not to go deeper."

The rainbow flow of Xiaoxiang's long silver-blue hair suddenly accelerated, and fine circuit patterns lit up between the silver hair.

The dark patterns on Shen Qinyin's dress were glowing, and those seemingly decorative curves seemed to be the patterns of some kind of energy circulation.

"Qiyin! Look over there!"

Tang Miao suddenly grabbed Shen Qinyin's wheelchair, and the coldness of metal came from between his fingers.

She tilted her head and motioned Shen Qiyin to look over: "The surveillance camera in the southeast corner is following us! And these lights in the basement..."

Shen Qiyin knew what she wanted to say. The infrastructure in the villa area had been shut down for a month, and the underground garage and other places had long been without power. Whether it was the lights or the surveillance cameras, they should have been shut down due to lack of power.

But now, these devices are operating strangely.

"Are these made of Green Haze?"

Shen Qiyin rubbed her chin, looking thoughtful: "We know that when that guy appears, it will cause magnetic field disturbances and electrical equipment malfunctions...

Could it be that this is because its shape contains microcurrents or other energy elements? Can this energy be absorbed by Xiaoxiang's energy core?"

When Xiaoxiang heard this, he immediately activated his energy core, and a cold white light gradually appeared on his chest.

After a while, the light went out, and Xiaoxiang reported to Shen Qiyin with a normal expression: "Detection results: What is flowing in the air is not a microcurrent, but a special mysterious substance that cannot be captured.

My database is currently unable to analyze this substance. After analysis, I believe that this substance has not yet been discovered and applied by humans, so it is not recorded in my database."

"...Is this so?"

Shen Qinyin nodded slightly, not surprised by this result.

Entities, like my notebook, are things that are beyond human technology and cognition. Perhaps they really are from other advanced civilizations, or even higher dimensions, as the outside world speculates?

“Click, click!”

"Zizzi-"

Suddenly, the sound of mechanical gears twisting and jamming, and the crackling sound of damaged circuits echoed in the garage.

The originally pale incandescent light began to flicker wildly at this moment, making the already depressing underground garage even more eerie.

"Boom!!"

With a sudden loud bang, a whole car door was unloaded from one of the dusty cars without warning and smashed straight towards Shen Qinyin who was sitting in a wheelchair!

At the critical moment, Xiaoxiang flashed in front of Shen Qinyin like lightning, and the electric knife in his left palm popped out almost instantly, emitting an exciting electric light, evenly cutting the flying car door into two halves!

The cut-open car door passed by Shen Qinyin's side, and the strong wind blew her long hair.

The next second, the entire parking lot was suddenly filled with the sound of metal rubbing like a baby crying. The rusty wreckage of the vehicle began to twitch, and the car doors trembled violently like injured wings.

"Geological tremors detected within a 50-meter radius, with a magnitude of 4.8 on the Richter scale."

Xiaoxiang reported in a mechanical voice.

Shen Qiyin stared ahead, a gloomy look in her eyes.

Haha, it looks like that guy has recovered well and can actually fight back so fiercely.

The ground was moving.

To be precise, the markings in the entire parking lot were twisting.

Under the erosion of green haze, the white paints, like awakened nematodes, broke free from the asphalt and weaved into a sticky web in the air.

No, although the vibration is real, if you look closely, it is not that the scene has actually changed, but that their cognition has been polluted!

“Stand back!”

Shen Qinyin suddenly raised her left hand, and the small cross hanging on her wrist fell to the ground. The moment it touched the ground, it suddenly turned into a burning holy wood, bursting out with dazzling holy light!

The squirming white threads turned black and carbonized the moment they came into contact with the holy wood, and even the air seemed to be filled with the stench of burning hair.

But even more terrifying was the movement in the shadows—seven bodies with license plates on them were crawling out from behind the supporting columns, their spines fused with rusted exhaust pipes to form grotesque metal tailbones.

Xiaoxiang's right arm armor suddenly unfolded, and the black gun barrel was wrapped in electric light. The coils accumulated into a powerful impact force and launched several projectiles!

The micro-projectile flashed with a cold blue light. When the first corpse rushed over, the bullet had clearly hit the corpse's head accurately, but there was no sound of flesh and bones piercing, but a sound of steel breaking.

"Xiaoxiang, stop attacking and switch to defense mode. Those are cars, not monsters!"

Shen Qinyin's face was gloomy, and she felt heavy and helpless in her heart.

She didn't know whether the ability used by Green Haze was cognitive pollution or a created illusion, but either way, it had an impact on Xiaoxiang, a robot without human consciousness.

In other words, even for mechanical life forms, their cognitive pollution can still produce an effect, just like conceptual skills.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

The green haze that was temporarily forced back by the holy wood seemed to be enraged. Perhaps in order to fight to the death, several cars thirty meters away were suddenly dismembered. A large number of flying parts condensed into a group of metal swarms like poisonous bees in the air, and rushed towards Shen Qinyin and the others!

The sound of the blade tearing through the air mixed with the roar of metal colliding. Xiaoxiang used his body to protect Shen Qiyin and Tang Miao behind him.

"Switch to defense mode, electromagnetic barrier activated, protection level: Level II."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoxiang's white back revealed the subcutaneous armor, and dozens of circular electric circles surged around. In just a blink of an eye, a blue-black defensive barrier was formed.

Those metal storms like swarms of poisonous bees kept hitting the barrier, then kept solidifying, falling, and bouncing off, as if there was an invisible big hand controlling all of this.

However, this barrier only lasted for less than three minutes. Xiaoxiang's dark golden eyes suddenly turned red, and he issued a warning:

"Warning! Battery power is less than 5%. The defense barrier is about to fail. 5, 4, 3, 2..."

"No way? Why is the power out already?!"

Tang Miao was almost about to let out a sharp explosion. To her, everything that was happening before her eyes was like a science fiction movie.

I was clearly still fighting a desperate battle with those criminals yesterday afternoon, how come I woke up and started fighting a future war?!

A high-tech fighter girl versus an occult monster? What the hell is this? What use am I?

The moment the defensive barrier dissipated, the large amount of remaining debris immediately attacked Shen Qinyin like a poisonous tongue with bared fangs!

That thing possessed a certain level of intelligence, so it knew very well that Shen Qinyin was the biggest threat.

But Xiaoxiang would not give it any chance at all. Even if she had to use her body, she would stand in front of Shen Qinyin!

"Bang bang bang!!"

The car debris hit Xiaoxiang's body hard, and her bionic skin began to fall off under the impact of the fragments, revealing the mechanical skeleton with liquid metal flowing underneath.

Although considering the hardness of Xiaoxiang's material, the destructive power of the car debris can only cause her to lose some skin, but if she continues like this, once the power runs out, Shen Qiyin and Tang Miao will be the ones to suffer.

Chapter 31 Exorcism Tool, Bloody Cradle

"This isn't a solution. That thing is doing its utmost to prevent us from approaching its physical form. This proves it's afraid of us."

Shen Qiyin silently deployed a telekinetic field, and using her own strength, she lifted a tattered car door and placed it across Xiaoxiang, barely blocking the continuous attack of car debris.

She keenly noticed that the force of these fragments was obviously not as strong as before, which also proved that the opponent was already at the end of his strength.

"Om-"

Suddenly, Shen Qinyin felt a subtle roar coming from the deepest part of her mind.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of him began to twist, deform, and move strangely.

"Strong cognitive contamination detected."

Xiaoxiang's electronic voice began to crackle with noise, and her silver hair suddenly flickered with irregular light changes. "Physical interference has failed, and other countermeasures are needed... Zizi... It is recommended to immediately... Zizi..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiaoxiang's dark golden pupils dimmed completely.

This symbolizes that she is completely paralyzed by the cognitive pollution of the green haze.

Shen Qinyin bit the tip of her tongue hard. The sharp pain temporarily cleared her vision and made her regain her spirit.

With the blessing of the ring, I can resist cognitive pollution more easily than ordinary people.

She turned her gaze to Xiaoxiang, who had "automatically shut down" beside her. Although she had already expected this result, Shen Qiyin still felt worried about Xiaoxiang.

She took advantage of the time when Green Haze paused in his physical attack and took away the energy core from Xiaoxiang's chest.

"Thank you, Xiaoxiang, you've done a great job. Now it's up to us."

While comforting her, Shen Qiyin did not forget to pay attention to Tang Miao's condition.

Lu Haze's desperate fight was so hard that even Tang Miao found it difficult to resist, let alone Tang Miao who was an ordinary person.

The latter was staring blankly at a human-shaped shadow created by green haze not far away.

Although it was unclear what that thing was in Tang Miao's sight, Shen Qinyin could be sure from Tang Miao's dull and nostalgic eyes that in Tang Miao's eyes, the black shadow was most likely her deceased parents.

"Dongdong, Dongdong, Dongdong..."

At this moment, Shen Qinyin heard a heartbeat-like vibration.

She looked inside the garage and saw rows of load-bearing columns spread out like ribs, revealing a furnace of flesh and blood in the center, made from scrapped vehicles.

After that, Shen Qinyin saw that in the dancing emerald shadow, a giant face made up of a steering wheel and a human skull was waking up.

Green haze!

Without a doubt, that is its concrete entity!

"You put yourself in this state, are you trying to scare me away?"

Shen Qiyin tried hard to resist the cognitive pollution brought by the green haze, while revealing a sneer.

As if sensing Shen Qinyin's provocation, the green haze emitted an infrasonic scream, and the fire-retardant paint on the surface of the load-bearing columns began to peel off, revealing a dense mosaic of eyeballs behind it.

Those pupils turned to different angles at the same time. Shen Qiyin's temples throbbed, and a picture that should never have existed emerged from the depths of her memory.

On my twelfth birthday, a centipede crawled out of the cake, the capsule I swallowed extended dark, sticky tentacles, and datura bloomed in my mother's eye sockets...

She took a deep breath and put her hands in the inside pockets of her dress.

Then, she took out a square box about the size of a palm.

[Do you want to spend 50 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Ordinary Music Box" to the "Crimson Cradle"?]

【Yes! 】

As Shen Qiyin made the final decision, the square box in her hand suddenly turned into a uniquely shaped music box!

Shen Qinyin's fingers brushed across the iris pattern on the surface of the music box, and the copper petals cast from molten copper suddenly began to rotate.

When the Victorian jewelry box popped open, the twelve joints of the plastic ballet dancer's statue made a crisp sound at the same time.

This supposedly elegant figure displays a terrifying flexibility, her waist bent 180 degrees backward, and her porcelain face cracked with spiderweb-like lines.

Then, a strange yet beautiful music came out from this unique music box.

Shen Qinyin listened carefully for a moment and suddenly realized that this song was a transposed version of "Aria on the G String".

The moment this music sounded, the green haze seemed to emit an extremely shrill scream!

The painful faces of people suspended in the green shadows began to melt, as if countless hands were struggling desperately within them.

It seemed to be in great pain. The sound of the music box caused it extremely serious trauma, and this trauma stimulated it to launch a crazy counterattack against Shen Qinyin and others!

The green shadows that trembled and fissioned roared one after another. The ballerina's head began to rotate 360 ​​degrees. As the scale of the music box rose, the mechanical device under her skirt exposed the structure of flesh and blood tissue, and the synapses were entangled between the clockwork gears.

And under its crazy counterattack, the music box actually vibrated violently and emitted a harsh and strange tune.

These tunes directly caused Shen Qinyin to feel mental pain. She even vaguely saw the entire parking lot space folded up like crumpled drawing paper!
