"My family is here. Do you want to say hello to them? If they knew it was you who sent me back, they would definitely repay you."
"Well... forget it. Mr. Tinari is still waiting for me to report back."
When the ranger heard that he had to greet the other party, his expression changed slightly.
After confirming that the merchant was waving at them and calling Nashita's name, he quickly stood up.
After saying goodbye, he hurriedly set out on the road back to Daochenglin.
How to say it... ... Nashita knows the people in Huacheng very well.
For example, the person in front of me.
He went to Daochenglin and became a forest ranger because he didn't like communicating with people.
Even if it's well-intentioned.
Taking advantage of this, Nashita created a "dream" to trick him.
After making sure the ranger had left, the light in Nashita's eyes gradually dimmed.
The caravan that was about to reach her also disappeared quietly.
"Sure enough... It's still a bit difficult in this situation."
Raising her hands with slight trembling, Nashita sighed.
Even though this body fits her very well, it is not her true body after all. Being able to achieve this level is already the limit.
Next... ...it's time to return this body.
After regaining some strength, Nashita did not return to Xumi City as he had said. Instead, after making sure that the ranger had really left, he quietly walked along the river by the road and entered the forest.
And walked towards the depths of the forest.
As she went deeper, the surrounding environment began to change.
The most intuitive feeling is popularity.
On the outskirts of the forest, you can see paths trampled by people and tree stumps with signs of felling.
But now, these traces related to humans have become fewer and fewer, and the frequency of monsters appearing is becoming more and more frequent.
However, when the monsters saw such a harmless-looking little girl walking in the forest, not only did they not think of approaching her, but instead they fled far away as if they had seen the god of plague.
Only some harmless small animals, such as birds, little foxes, mushroom pigs, etc., are still leisurely staying where they are.
Go deeper... ... and you'll find some more special things.
mechanical.
All these machines are hidden in the grass, among the rocks, and in the rivers.
They will only react when monsters or animals pass by, poking their heads out to take a few looks.
The rest of the time, they are like dead objects, with no response at all.
When Nashita approached them, they did not attack her. Instead, they rubbed against her affectionately, as if... they had met their own kind.
Facing these cold machines, Nashita's face once again showed a slight smile.
"Good boy~"
Just like treating puppies, Nashita squatted down and reached out to touch their heads.
After playing and frolicking with them for a while, Nashita headed deeper into the forest again.
Nashita stopped only when they reached an area that was completely impossible for ordinary people to set foot in.
At the entrance of the cave not far away, a man who looked a little anxious was pacing back and forth.
He seemed to be about the same age as Bai Luo, and was dressed in the attire of the Su Lun School of the Jiaoling Academy. His thin figure made him look quite scholarly, as if a stronger gust of wind could blow him away.
"Kakata... It's been so long, why hasn't he come back yet? Could it be that he was captured by those old antiques in the Ministry of Education... cough cough cough!"
I don’t know if it’s because I’m too anxious or if he’s just not in good health.
He was a little impatient and coughed violently.
The man's expression eased a little until he saw Nashita not far away.
"Kakata, you're finally back. If you don't come back... we might not have enough energy."
Abatoi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the mechanical life he had carefully crafted reappear in front of him.
He didn't care whether his clothes would get wet by the river water, and he waded through the knee-deep water and ran to Nashita... or Kakata.
Only this time, Kakata's expression was no longer as rich as before.
Even his lively eyes became empty.
It's like... losing my soul.
"S...I'm sorry, A...ba..."
Kakata opened his mouth and the sound that came out became a not-so-smooth electronic sound.
"I told you, this situation... well, I can't blame you, this was set up in advance."
"Hey, when will you really talk to me, Kakata?"
Chapter 827 I did it on purpose!
Bai Luo has disappeared again.
That’s right, it’s again.
When Yefim was about to call the executive officer to have breakfast, he found that there was only an unfinished hot pot and a bonfire that had long been burned out in the hut.
As for Bai Luo... ...no news at all.
When colleagues at the cooperative supply point were anxiously trying to find the executive officer, Yefim calmly stopped them.
Yefim's position was not high, as mentioned before, but he was smarter than most.
There are some things that even his superiors don't know, but he knows them very well.
For example, the 12th executive officer instructor likes to play something by suddenly disappearing.
So this time, I guess the executive officer is going somewhere to make some arrangements, just like before.
Perhaps the next time we hear from him, he will have done something extremely sensational in the eyes of unknown people like us.
In fact, Bai Luo had already left Daochenglin at this time, returned to Liyue overnight, and headed straight for Lingju Pass.
Because there was an old acquaintance of his there.
Originally, Bai Luo didn't want to deal with him too much, because that would cause him to lose a lot of brain cells.
So even though Bai Luo knew that he was in Liyue through the mark, he turned a blind eye and didn't pay much attention to him.
But if it involves Cole... ... he can't ignore him anymore.
Like Dunyu Mausoleum, Lingju Pass, which is also located in the suburbs of Lisha, has a very long history and is very ancient.
This fortress, which was built during the ancient war period, still has many architectural remains.
The heavens have a watchdog, and all life must come to an end. The Creator is selfless, and there is no beginning without an end. But the universe is hard to contain, and we must follow the fate of life and death. Therefore, we respectfully face the emperor and praise the holy hymn.
According to records, in ancient times, there were even immortals stationed here to guard against the invasion of some kind of existence.
This also led to the presence of many treasure-stealing groups here.
However, Bai Luo came here not for the treasure-stealing group, nor for the immortal heritage, but because of a relic.
Just by standing on the mountain outside the ruins, the faint roar is already very obvious.
According to Bai Luo's judgment, it should be the sound of some large instrument in operation.
The pipelines, which have a rough winter style, are exposed outside the mountain unscrupulously, and they don't seem to care at all that anyone would notice the abnormality here.
That’s right, apart from treasure-hunting groups and adventurers, very few people come to this kind of place.
Whether these people can get here is still unknown.
Before, Bai Luo had looked up a lot of information in order to stir up trouble during the Sea Lantern Festival.
This includes the ones here.
Based on the materials and equipment shipped here by the Northland Bank, combined with his understanding of the plot, he knew that this should be the "Toy Research Institute" that the Doctor had set up in Liyue.
However, after he completely defeated the Mad Doctor last time, research here was stopped and it has not been operating since then.
Until another person comes.
That is the absolutely rational doctor.
“Boom…”
After entering the ruins, the originally dull sound became louder, and the situation in the ruins could be seen clearly.
This ruins is no different from other ruins in Liyue, except that there are some huge gears and steam-emitting pipes on the ruins.
The thick iron sheets completely replaced the originally dilapidated stone road, which should be convenient for vehicles to transport some instruments and equipment.
This cave, which combines the latest winter technology and ancient ruins, gives people an extremely unreal feeling.
The completely paralyzed ruins machine, the fire slime used as fuel, the thunder slime outputting electricity
These monsters that would make ordinary people scream and run away outside, have become tools for exploitation here. The Thunder Slime has even become so weak that it is about to disappear.
But since this place had been abandoned long ago, there were no staff to remove it, and the machines could only squeeze out the last bit of its value.
Thermal energy and electrical energy are converted through special instruments into white rays similar to laser beams. If you are not careful, you may be completely cut into several pieces.
But for Bai Luo, this deadly ray is not enough.
This thing can at most defend against ordinary original gods, and it can't stand up to beings of his level.
After passing through these fortifications, Bai Luo finally arrived at the office area.
But here, he actually saw an unexpected person.
Kloeber.
Or rather Mechanical Kroeber.
"Hello, Mr. Executor, Krober salutes you!"
Dressed in his winter military uniform, he looked completely different than before.
Although the body is still similar to One-Eyed Xiaobao, it is no longer so abstract, but is somewhat similar to the Thunder Hammer Vanguard.
Under the wide-brimmed military cap, the mustache that symbolized his identity was preserved very completely.
Paired with this military uniform, it looks much better.
Well... at least it is more in line with normal people's aesthetic standards than before.
"You are still alive?"
In fact, he knew very well what happened in the laboratory after he left, otherwise he would not have left so easily.
But he didn't expect that after killing one of the doctor's slices, he would be preserved again and looked... ... even smarter.
"No, you misunderstood. Before that, I was not considered alive. Now, I am truly alive."
Straightening his body and saluting to Bai Luo, Mechanical Krober spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Compared to the money-hungry him when he was alive and the crematorium he became after his death, he is now more resolute, brave, and... ...rational.
Bai Luo originally wanted to say something, but the sound of leather boots hitting the iron floor made him slowly shift his gaze.
"How do you feel about the new Klobber?"
After walking to the appropriate distance, the doctor stopped and asked.
“It doesn’t feel as good as Sandoni’s work.”
Bai Luo shrugged slightly and spoke out.
Having just met Nashita in Daochenglin, it was not surprising for him to give such an answer after seeing this slightly [inferior] machine again.
But would Bai Luo be the kind of person who speaks without thinking
Of course not.
