Chapter 362: Full of Mysteries
A strange sense of suffocation swept over him in the blink of an eye, suddenly creeping into his mind while Tang Zijun was still pondering the current situation. The stagnant environment around him suddenly distorted at this moment. First, the light was bent, and then everything in front of him split into something like a snow screen.
All colors faded, and against the pale white background, everything around became hazy and gray, like frosted glass. At the same time, the ground and sky began to break down into tiny, constantly trembling pixels.
Grilando was stunned by the shocking scene and didn't know what to do. Although her sense of crisis as a mercenary didn't make her feel any threat, she was still speechless from the shock of the sudden change in the world.
She deliberately turned her head to get closer to Tang Zijun, as if only in this way could she bring her some sense of security, but the strange environment that was constantly fading in color made her dare not make any rash moves.
Tang Zijun slowly looked around, watching the environment gradually blur and break down the "real" matter into cubes of different sizes. He suddenly felt as if he were in My World.
Unlike Grelando, who knew nothing about technology, Tang Zijun, though he had never encountered such advanced technology before, realized that the distress signal video had finished playing and that the 'world' was about to collapse.
His gaze was fixed on the woman's head not far away. Although he had guessed it before, he could now be sure that this head was the same one he had seen in the dream world.
However, to Tang Zijun's surprise, although this woman was indeed a "robot," her intelligence was far more powerful than Tang Zijun had imagined.
If it weren't for the electrical wire protruding from the cut on the other person's neck, Tang Zijun would have really thought this guy was a living human being based solely on his previous words and actions.
As all the surrounding colors turned gray and white, the mechanical head in front of Tang Zijun became the only thing that still retained color in her vision.
Whether it was her imagination or not, Tang Zijun felt that the somewhat empty eyes on her head were staring intently at her.
No matter who you are. ::
Save her!
Without any warning, a message directly entered Tang Zijun's mind.
It wasn't a sound, nor was it like the telepathic connection between magical girls; rather, it was a strange text that was directly transmitted into his consciousness by some kind of pheromone.
Although they looked like Chinese characters, when Tang Zijun tried to examine them closely, she discovered that the characters had somehow transformed into a state between 0 and 1.
Is this also the power of technology?
Tang Zijun didn't know.
He subconsciously shifted his gaze and slowly looked at the little girl not far behind him.
Most of the stuttering little girl had disappeared by this time, her face and body becoming blurry, her fingers and clothes almost turning into gray-white pixelated cubes.
She remained motionless, her entire body gradually fading away amidst the shaking and distortion of the pixels.
Unlike the mechanical woman, Tang Zijun was certain that this stuttering little girl was a person, a real human being with flesh and blood and a heartbeat.
Tang Zijun couldn't imagine what a little girl like her would experience living in this bizarre world, and he couldn't even guarantee that she would be able to escape alive.
Although she did receive the distress signal, the last scene of the video showed that even though the cyborg woman had tried her best to stop the creatures called "omnics," no one could guarantee that the little girl could escape their pursuit.
What Tang Zijun was most curious about at that moment was how this woman's head had appeared in the dream world.
Judging from the images released by the other party, this should be a perfectly normal "scavenger operation". Although the situation they encountered was very critical and dangerous, and they might even lose their lives, from a macro perspective, Tang Zijun did not notice anything related to the dream world.
So how did the other party's parts end up in a merchant's shop in another dimension under these circumstances?
"Sir, my lord."
"
Just as Tang Zijun was pondering, Grelando's voice brought him back to his senses.
Tang Zijun raised her head slightly and saw that Grilando was looking at her with a nervous expression. Her body was emitting a faint blue glow, and her whole body began to become illusory.
Tang Zijun was absolutely certain that Grelando was an ordinary person, and if this strange phenomenon was not caused by the other party, then there was only one possibility.
"Relax, Grelando, the video is over, we can most likely go back now." Tang Zijun said, looking at her palm.
Sure enough, after the strange phenomenon appeared on Grelando's body, her own body reacted accordingly, and even her palms became illusory and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Grilando seemed to still be in a state of shock. She tried to make some kind of movement, opening her mouth and shouting, but Tang Zijun could only see her movements and did not receive any sound from her.
Immediately afterwards, a violent sense of detachment struck, as if a roller coaster had reached its highest point and then suddenly plunged downwards. Everything in Tang Zijun's vision was stripped away in a blur. He felt his consciousness tremble for a moment, and the next instant, Katie's worried face appeared before him.
wu..
Suddenly opening her eyes, all her senses returned to her body, and Tang Zijun's muscles tensed reflexively.
The image of Grelando's panicked state seemed to linger in Tang Zijun's pupils. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, finally calming his somewhat complicated emotions.
"Brother, brother..."
Katie's voice came from beside her. She gripped Tang Zijun's arm tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with worry, but also with joy at seeing Tang Zijun wake up.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Tang Zijun clenched his fist and rubbed his temples vigorously with the knuckle of his left index finger. Then he slowly raised his head and asked softly, "What happened to me just now?"
"Brother, you suddenly stopped moving just now. I don't know what happened to you. I tried calling your name, but you didn't respond. I... I don't know..." Katie's emotions became visibly agitated as she spoke of this.
To be honest, this was the first time Tang Zijun had ever seen Katie so emotional. She seemed anxious to describe what had happened, but she couldn't explain the details, which made her even more anxious.
Tang Zijun was quite touched that Katie was so worried about her. However, she felt it would be better if Katie didn't grip her arm so tightly. If she hadn't been enhanced, Tang Zijun felt that anyone else would have had their arm broken.
"Let me explain."
Curly Ears jumped from the opposite chair onto the table, a smile on her face, but more than anything, she was worried about Tang Zijun's situation.
"You said you wanted to rest for a while, and then you suddenly froze on the spot, as if you had suddenly lost consciousness. I noticed that your eyes seemed to be covered with a blue tint and were moving rhythmically, but I didn't sense any special energy reaction."
"Yes, yes, I noticed it too." Katie nodded excitedly.
Curly Ears didn't mind that her partner had interrupted her, and instead looked curiously at Tang Zijun. "What's going on? Did you buy colored contact lenses?"
"No matter how you look at it, it couldn't possibly be colored contact lenses..." Tang Zijun reached out and rubbed Curly-Ears' head, then sighed softly, her gaze becoming slightly profound. "Are you sure you didn't sense any energy reaction?"
"No, there's no aura of magic or evil. You look like you've been hypnotized. I initially thought it was the Greedy Ones rigging the votes, but then I realized you're their leader..." Curly-eared girl stuck out her tongue.
"No energy reaction... So it really is some kind of technological method that ordinary people can't understand..." Tang Zijun narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression somewhat gloomy.
Curly Ears carefully observed Tang Zijun's expression, then asked in confusion.
"Tang Zijun, what exactly happened?"
"It's a long story." Tang Zijun had no intention of going into details, and he waved his hand lightly. "It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, it's just that I don't know how to explain it right now. My head is a bit of a mess right now. Let me calm down for a while, and I'll try to recall and review what just happened."
Perhaps because it was the first time she had encountered something like this, Tang Zijun felt a bit of a headache.
It wasn't that there was any danger, it was just like being suddenly given a piece of information that my brain couldn't process, and some details of the experience I had just had become a little blurry.
Upon hearing this, Curly Ears and Katie exchanged a glance but didn't say anything. Katie, however, proudly presented Tang Zijun's phone.
"By the way, brother, your phone kept ringing."
"Huh?" Tang Zijun frowned as she took the phone, glancing at the caller ID. "Qing Nang...why is she calling me at this hour?"
"Because something happened."
Suddenly, a whisper came from the other end of the carriage.
The human, the rabbit, and the mecha girl present all turned their heads simultaneously, only to see Chang Lei, his face gloomy, open the door to the carriage aisle and walk straight towards them from the other side. "Tan Xiaoshe couldn't contact you, so she came to me."
"Something happened? What happened?!" Curly-eared boy blinked and couldn't help but ask.
But looking at Chang Lei's expression, Tang Zijun guessed what was going on.
"Is it about the Shadow faction?"
"Yes." Chang Lei nodded heavily.
But then he noticed Tang Zijun's complicated expression and couldn't help but ask, "Wolf Rider, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll tell you when I get back."
Tang Zijun suddenly stood up, and the belt was already around his waist.
"He's in a really bad mood right now..."
