Dense tentacles spewed out from the back of the human face like a spider spinning silk, and what greeted them was flames falling from the sky.
Jenkins doesn't know what alloy this machine is made of, but it seems to be very afraid of flames. He didn't even need to pay attention to the power. Once those metal tentacles came into contact with the gifted fire, they would melt as quickly as ice contacted with high temperature.
"It's still going to be a fight in the end."
Jenkins in the air comforted the unicorn, which was restless because of those disgusting tentacles. Although it had a metallic texture, it could squirm like a living creature and make a sticky sound. Not just the unicorn, but even Jenkins felt some physical discomfort.
He summoned the Holy Bone Sword again, then took a breath and jumped off the unicorn's back.
The golden ball-shaped rune prison protected him, so Alexia and Chocolate, who were hiding in the distance, could only see a golden ball falling from the sky, and a huge white sword light radiated from the golden ball.
Corresponding to this, the silver-white tentacles covered with black bumps twisted into a strand in an instant, and collided head-on with the sword glow in the air like a Teng shield.
At this moment, white light filled the sky over this small snowfield, and the six screams one after another were the only sounds in the world.
When the light disappeared, the unicorn flew a little weak Jenkins to a high place. Where the mercury face was originally, the metal droplets dripped to the snow field like suspicious viscous liquid from a stinky ditch, leaving only one Mechanisms of brass-colored gears, levers, pistons, and springs remain in midair.
That thing was about the size of an adult's head, and it looked inexplicably like the power core of a steam oven. Its surface is unencapsulated, so Jenkins can see at a glance the mating gears turning and pistons pushing and pulling inside.
But after taking a look at his nosebleeds, he couldn't understand what he saw, the pile of tattered parts forcibly pieced together, the thinking of human order couldn't understand the principle of operation at all.
Even though there is no energy source, it still spews out steam. Jenkins can hear the sound of the small cylinder operating inside the machine very clearly, but the more it is like this, the more he does not understand how this thing works.
The more he didn't understand, the more his brain simulated the consequences of every work done, and the consequence of the brain's operation following the strange machine was to make Jenkins feel the pain of mental tearing.
"Don't think, close your eyes and empty your mind."
A small hand supported the back of Jenkins' head, and Jenkins followed Alexia's voice with nausea. This is indeed much better. After ignoring the operation of the mechanical core seen in the brain for a moment, the human way of thinking calms down the spirit again, and the nausea and severe pain in the head also disappear.
I closed my eyes and didn't know what happened. I only heard a bang, and when I opened my eyes again, the weird mechanical core had already fallen to the ground. After the fall, the machinery had stopped working, and a few parts were scattered everywhere.
The main part of the core is constantly shooting out cremation. According to Jenkins' experience, this is a precursor to the explosion of the steam furnace.
"Blow it up!"
Alexia yelled, and Jenkins followed suit immediately, and the black shadow shot straight to the ground behind him. But after the weird sound of beeps and black sparks exploded, an invisible blue shock wave spread outwards, instantly covering the entire snow field.
The illusion spread out with the blue shock wave, but this time it was no longer the illusion of the city, but a man in a white robe with his face covered in a hood, holding a metal box with burrs and talking to himself language. The surface of the box is not polished and smooth, but is spliced by tiny gears. From a distance, it looks like it is covered with burrs. From a close look, it looks like it was put together by chocolate after being illuminated by Jenkins' [Mechanical Light] .
Inside the box was a cube made of mercury-like material. Jenkins and Alexia immediately recognized it as the miniature form of the one just now.
"It's not dead yet?"
Seeing the phantom reappear, Jenkins turned pale with fright, took out his sword and waved it towards the void as if puffing up the remaining spirit.
"It does not seem."
The short lady pressed Jenkins' raised hand, then thought suspiciously:
"I don't know why this happened, but I was slashed by you first, and then attacked head-on by the twin demons. It is impossible not to be broken... Do you think it is possible? After the machine is broken, the storage The information in it leaked out?"
If it is in the original world, this is of course a very illogical answer. But in this world, this answer is quite reliable. Almost at the same time that Alexia made a guess, Jenkins also had a similar idea.
No matter what the two real people are thinking about, the mysterious man in the illusion is still holding the box and talking to himself. Maybe it was because it was too badly damaged, the background other than this person was all blurred and covered with echoing water patterns, I can barely guess that this is a building made of red square bricks, from the style It looks more like an underground building.
But fortunately, the voice of the man talking to himself can still be barely distinguished:
"... finally found it, yes, this is it, this way, I can... I can continue to write new poems, fate is really on my side... the third step of the child of disaster is about to be completed... other people… "
That's probably the sound, vague and echoing. Although they can't connect with each other, fortunately the language he uses is not completely lost. Alexia translates for Jenkins while listening. Excluding words she couldn't understand and syllables that she couldn't really make out, that was all the sounds that could be made out.
After that, as Alexia expected, the illusion showed the important "data" stored in this machine one by one. But because Jenkins was too ruthless just now, these broken fragments actually have no other effect except to let the two understand the architectural style and clothing style thousands of years ago.
When the illusion ended, the two people who descended slowly from the high altitude saw that the mechanical core was completely turned into scrap iron. Alexia finds a blue cube in the center of the gear after having Jenkins violently dismantle it with his sword.
"This one looks a bit like yours."
Jenkins said hesitantly.
PS: Wash your hands frequently and go out less, exercise and rest well. I hope everyone is in good health.
