"chip?"
Sis was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and touched behind his ear.
He still vaguely remembered the burning pain in that position not long ago, but now the pain had faded. However, he could still feel that the skin attached to the chip was hot and swollen, as if there was some inflammation.
Sis didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to the chip behind his ear, but considering what he had done before, he now acted extremely guilty in front of Lin Xi and the other three. He just answered honestly road:
"... The computing power of the human brain is too weak. Under normal circumstances, almost everyone in our profession has installed this kind of device on themselves. Some people even install more professional chips directly in their skulls, but My mom said it’s not a good idea to put things in your head.”
"Don't think about being opportunistic, you little bastard. Those people did the same thing three hundred years ago. God gave them perfect bodies, but some people ignored God's gift and boldly transformed their bodies and transformed themselves. To become that kind of... what... Cybermen... you know that kind of thing. They simply installed a whole set of intelligent systems in their bodies, naively thinking that they could become a more perfect new species. But, think about it. Their fate is terrible... That is God’s warning to those arrogant people.”
To this day, Siss still remembers how his mother made a lot of noise, cried and yelled at him to stop implanting the intracranial chip. He finally had to give in, even though he felt in his heart that his mother had simply watched too many horror movies about the Age of Exploration. Of course, the more important reason is that Sis cannot afford the high surgical cost of implanting an intracranial chip. (Although in the end, he secretly installed an external chip for himself without telling the old woman).
"My chip is second-hand... so sometimes it is not very sensitive..."
Sith said cautiously while shrinking his neck.
He was still very weak. The massive blood loss and the fear and suffering he had experienced before made him wish he could faint.
However, when facing Lin Xi, he didn't even dare to faint.
In fact... Sis almost wet his pants in fear in front of Lin Xi. He didn't understand what happened. His former friend was obviously still in human form, but the weird aura emanating from him made Sith numb from head to sole.
"You should be grateful that this thing is second-hand, otherwise you would have been dead by this time, and then the three-hundred-year-old ghost would have taken advantage of it and turned you into a walking zombie."
Lin Xi said coldly.
It wasn't that he wanted to comfort Sith or excuse what the man had done before.
He and Xavier had already sneaked into the bridge when the Sith was talking to Tallan. Of course, he did not miss the vicious temptations that came out of Sith's mouth... Lin Xi was very sure that those were not words that Sith could say. This man was once his friend.
When encountering emergencies, it may be difficult for a Sith to be a hero or a good person, but he is not the kind of outright evil person. At least in Lin Xi's opinion, if he is a normal Sith, he will definitely do the right thing. There is no such thing as betraying Alyssa and Bryce to Taran.
What's more, when Sith talked to Taran, the ancient way of talking was also familiar to Lin Xi. After all, he had heard the same words in the bodies of several people. That damn Scripps is affecting the minds of the Sith through external chips.
Lin Xi can be very sure of this.
And it is precisely because of this that even if Sith has done that kind of thing, he and Bryce are still willing to reach out and force this man back from the brink of death.
"However, just in case, I still have to take some precautions for you."
Lin Xi briefly explained the connection between the chip installed in the human body and the ghost captain Scripps three hundred years ago, and then he said to Sith.
"Precautionary measures refer to...?"
Sith heard such a sentence before he even recovered from the explosive news he had just received. He swallowed dryly and suddenly had a bad premonition.
And the next second, his premonition came true.
Lin Xi suddenly approached him, and before Sis could even react, he felt Lin Xi's cold fingers clamp down on his chin.
Did he see it wrong? Why he saw with his own eyes that curved nails grew on Lin Xi's fingers.
The panicked Sith thought desperately.
Then he felt a sharp pain behind his ear...
The dark nails growing from Lin Xi's fingertips easily scratched his skin.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xi pulled out the external chip from Sith's neck. Although at this time, there were obviously many wires connecting Sith's nerves and blood vessels, Lin Xi didn't care at all.
The Sith immediately screamed in pain.
A large amount of blood spurted out, and combined with the bloody external chip on Lin Xi's fingertips, the scene looked like the filming scene of a second-rate horror movie.
"Oh, God."
At a glance, Ellie saw the white, red, and soft things like blood vessels and plastic pipes connected to the chip on Lin Xi's fingertips. She suddenly covered her mouth and let out a moan.
Even Bryce, a man who had hated Sith so much before, had a look of unbearable expression on his face after seeing Sith rolling on the floor in pain and screaming until his throat became hoarse.
He was silent for a while, and finally rushed forward, applying hemostatic foam to Sith and giving him an injection of painkiller.
This is Bryce, his tenderness is always so subtle.
Lin Xi glanced at Bryce's movements with his peripheral vision and thought calmly in his heart.
This is completely different from him.
Lin Xi knew that he did it on purpose.
If he wanted, he could remove the chip from the Sith in a lighter and less painful way, but he wasn't happy about it.
Even though there was a part of him that still missed his previous friendship with the Sith, the other part...the parts that had been alienated had become particularly cold and ruthless.
In fact, it seemed that no one could touch that part of his human emotions except Bryce Alyssa.
Maybe this is what it feels like to be an alien.
Lin Xi thought in her heart.
"Lin Xi..."
Someone touched his arm gently.
Lin Xi turned around and was not surprised to find that it was Xavier waiting beside him.
The pair of eyes staring at him had changed from the original red compound eyes to bright and gentle blue.
Lin Xi had a fleeting feeling of confusion—if it were Xavier, red seemed more suitable.
The thought flashed through his mind.
As soon as she saw Xavier's worried look, Lin Xi knew that the subtle changes in her mood had not escaped the alien bug's keen perception.
"do not be sad."
Xavier said to Lin Xi softly.
However, while comforting Lin Xi not to be sad, Xavier himself looked depressed and melancholy. The important thing is that Xavier has not learned to disguise his emotions until now, and his sadness is even more obvious to Lin Xi.
One of Xavier's hands was still holding the tip of his wing. The color of the wings was now gray without any markings or colors, and his tentacles were hanging limply behind his head.
Lin Xi couldn't help but take another look at its wings, and then found a small mark of damage there.
That was the part where Xavier was touched by Taran before he could react.
Because he was too disgusted with the ugly and deformed Familia, Savile nervously tore off the small piece of his own wing that was touched by Taran while Lin Xi wasn't paying attention.
But it soon discovered that the torn wings looked even uglier than before - this was a bolt from the blue for a certain insect that cherished its wings very much.
For a moment, Xavier's mood was extremely low, but even so, he still tried to comfort Lin Xi with a smile.
I don't know why, but such a silly Xavier made Lin Xi's mood suddenly soften.
"I'm fine."
He said softly to Xavier, and after a pause he added. "Your wings will grow back later."
He ignored Xavier's eyes that became extremely bright in the next second, but turned back to look at Bryce and Sith.
After receiving Bryce's second treatment, Sith's neck was covered with hemostatic foam, and his face was even more ugly, as if he would burp in the next second.
However, Lin Xi had no intention of pitying her. He stepped forward and pushed Sis, and then said.
"Let's go. We have to hurry."
"Where to go?"
When Sis saw Lin Xi, his neck hurt reflexively. He struggled to get up, and then asked tremblingly.
Lin Xi stood there, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Taran's body was still lying on the ground, and there were some insects around it that were eager to attack the fresh meat. There was an unpleasant and dizzy smell floating in the air, but that smell was now gradually fading.
However, perhaps it was precisely because of the presence of Lin Xi and Xavier that even those alien species could not help but pop out their mouthparts and rub their wings from time to time to emit a small burst of insect sounds. No one among them dared to go first. Take action.
"Go to the lifeboat."
Lin Xi looked away from the "docile" aliens in the bridge and said.
"... Don't you really want to go home? Now, it's time to go home."
He glanced at the star map that was still rotating slowly above everyone, and his eyes stayed on the floating icon of "Earth" that dazzled everyone, with a strange look on his face.
“…”
Sith's eyes widened in disbelief. Until this moment, he seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
Seeing how Sis suddenly froze after hearing his words, Lin Xi couldn't help but frown. He felt a little anxious and his tone became more and more vicious.
"Don't tell me that the plan you told Les and the others before was also fake."
Lin Xi asked unusually coldly.
"No, of course not. I have deduced that plan many times." Sith said quickly, covering his neck. "I just didn't think about it, can we really go back... Oh, yes, yes, we can go back. We have obtained the star map, and Taran has unlocked all the permissions."
Sis said in a daze, Lin Xi rubbed his eyebrows, and then gave Bryce and Alyssa a look.
"Okay, we have to take action. Theory is theory, but in practice, there are still a lot of difficulties in getting home. What's more, we can only rely on ourselves now. Our reliable crew members are now... …”
Alyssa spoke first, and when she said the last sentence, she looked around her with a trace of regret.
Her former colleagues have now transformed into grotesque insect monsters and are drooling at her.
"Actually, the overall operation is not difficult -"
As soon as he heard Alyssa's voice, Sith immediately became nervous, and he quickly began to explain his plan, but this time his plan was far more frank and manipulative than last time.
During this process, Lin Xi had already turned around and walked towards the door. Bryce looked at Alyssa, then at Lin Xi, and finally he chose to follow Lin Xi... However, Lin Xi's pace was so fast that he almost couldn't keep up with Lin Xi.
"Lin Xi, is there something wrong?"
Bryce panted and ran for a short distance before approaching Lin Xi. He asked softly.
As Lin Xi's brother, he certainly did not ignore Lin Xi's obvious impatience.
Lin Xi just looked at Bryce and pursed her lips.
What should he tell the man in front of him? Those doubts hidden in his heart.
Just before, being dragged into that mysterious situation by some strange force, he directly heard a certain "monster"'s assurance to the Sith in the mode of his spiritual body: Once this motherboard is turned on, it will most likely cause... Come on those ghost killing machines, hunting down all alien species.
If he hadn't remembered the taste of the vaccines he took orally as a child, he probably wouldn't be as flustered and impatient as he is now, but...
Those familiar oral vaccines with the clear taste of milk made Lin Xi completely unable to calm down: maybe the entire people on the earth had been gradually infected with the thing that drove the Sulu people crazy many years ago.
"I don't know what to tell you, I have no evidence... But, Bryce, I have a very bad feeling, and my gut tells me that if we want to get out of this damn place, then our moves Just go a little faster, and then a little faster.”
Better get it all done before those damn Delcorp killing machines get here.
Lin Xi hesitated and did not mention those terrifying robots in front of Bryce.
Fortunately, he and Bryce had a tacit understanding.
Although he knew that Lin Xi still had many unspoken secrets, Bryce didn't ask any more questions. He quickly turned around and returned to Alyssa.
At this moment, Alyssa was trying hard to support the Sith who couldn't even walk.
But these three people were actually very weak, and their speed was very slow. After walking a few steps, Lin Xi had to stop. He let out a long sigh, and then turned his head and looked at the sand beside him. Vail.
"Sorry, but I thought... I might need your help," he said to Xavier.
"OK!"
Xavier was still depressed because of the holes in his wings, but his dejected look disappeared in an instant.
Hearing Lin Xi's instructions, Xavier seemed to suddenly come to life. His tentacles stood up behind his head and swayed like a puppy.
Lin Xi rubbed his fingertips unconsciously. Just now, he suddenly had a strange desire. He wanted to reach out and gently rub Xavier's head.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he quickly gave up this weird idea.
In fact, according to Lin Xi's original intention, he only planned to let Xavier help take Sith for a ride. After all, the guy looked like he was about to die after suffering two consecutive injuries.
But Lin Xi didn't expect that Xavier was a little overly aggressive when facing his instructions. Before Lin Xi could even react, he saw Xavier grabbing Sis and Bryce by their collars, and then straight away He directly pulled them up from the ground and carried them in his hands.
Facing Xavier's sudden action, Sith once again let out a miserable scream.
Even Bryce looked like he wanted to scream, but because Sith had screamed so painfully, Lin Xi's brother could only press his lips tightly and pretend to be calm. .
As for Alyssa…
Alyssa smiled and waved at the little bug before Xavier stretched out his sharp and barbed insect limbs towards her.
"Oh, thank you, but no, I can go on my own."
Alyssa said quickly.
"Actually, I can also do it myself...".
Blas said with a pale face.
In fact, if the situation was not so urgent, Lin Xi would probably let his brother choose a better mode of transportation, but now he was getting more and more anxious.
Small, frightened, and desperate emotions, like light spots, suddenly poured into his heart.
This feeling is actually somewhat familiar. Lin Xi had a similar feeling the last time when Alyssa opened the covenant shield despite the objections of others, causing the insect swarm to be instantly annihilated.
And now the feeling is coming again.
"There's no time to delay any longer. Let's go."
Just like that, Lin Xi ignored Bryce's muttering and walked quickly towards the other side of the corridor.
Xavier looked at him for a while, his wings fluttering behind him. It was actually ready for Lin Xi to sit behind him again.
Now that Lin Xi is gone, Xavier feels empty in his heart.
But even so, it still dutifully held the two bundles in its hands and followed Lin Xi forward quickly.
The lifeboat is located in the warehouse at the bottom of the Helios. Moreover, the internal structure of the Helios has been modified many times in the past 300 years, and there is a complicated path to get to the warehouse on the ground floor.
Lin Xi walked at the front of the team. He moved very quickly. Although he was still an out-and-out human in appearance, anyone could detect his "inhumanity" when he moved.
There was an indescribable lightness in his steps and movements, and he was as fast as a ghost.
In the end, even Alyssa had to bite the bullet and accept Xavier's help. She was dragged by one of its insect limbs to stagger behind Lin Xi.
Otherwise, it would be basically impossible for three humans to keep up with Lin Xi.
They didn't go far when a rustling sound came from behind a few people.
"Oh my God…"
Seeing the monsters gradually following him, Sith couldn't help but start screaming again.
"Jesus, Sith, please shut up and get out of the contract and get some strength, please."
Bryce next to him groaned in pain.
"But... didn't you see? Those bugs, my God, why are they following us? Do they want to eat us? Do we have any weapons on our hands?"
The Sith chattered out of nervousness.
Of course Bryce saw the bugs.
In fact, when Lin Xi found them with the terrifying alien monster, he was frightened and mentally tortured by the same sight.
It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes how Lin Xi got along with those bugs that he felt a little more at ease.
"Go away."
Lin Xi muttered impatiently at the insects.
As soon as he finished speaking, those densely packed insects immediately bowed their heads and moved aside to both sides.
The group of them moved very quickly, especially when all the bugs were out of the way.
The only incident was probably when they passed by an inspection window, Lin Xi suddenly stopped and looked out the window.
"Lin Xi?"
Xavier also stopped immediately.
Bryce looked at Lin Xi's expressionless face with a strange expression.
They followed Lin Xi's gaze and looked out the window. The next second he understood why Lin Xi was acting so strangely.
They saw bugs.
Densely packed bugs gathered together, and they looked closer to a mass of pitch-black polymer.
At this moment, these bugs are gathering not far from the Helios. Their tiny bodies are constantly surging, rolling, and entangled on the surface of something.
And in the gaps between those pitch-black and tiny bodies, soft and elastic black arcs of light would flash out from time to time—those were several metal tentacles that were constantly waving.
Whenever they wave, a gap will be formed in the middle of the insect swarm, and the small insects gathered together will be directly decomposed into gray smoke by the ion generator on the metal tentacles.
