Soul of Burning Steel

After standing still for a few minutes, Joshua stopped thinking.

Is it soul puppets that breed human beings and draw out their souls to create similar ones? Or is there another race behind the puppet that grazes the Siberians as livestock? There are many possibilities, and Joshua can think of many, but such thinking is meaningless, it can't solve any problems.

It has to be hands-on, looking for clues.

The soldier squatted down slowly, the joints of the huge soul puppet humming slightly, he squatted in front of a little boy who was breathing calmly, but there was no light in his eyes, like dead flesh, and then calmly stretched out a finger, silver The radiance began to condense at the tip of his fingers, finally forming a translucent 'light blade'.

Most of Joshua's steel power is in the main body outside the void, but his soul still has a considerable part of the steel power stored by the steel fragments of Siberia. At this moment, Joshua was manipulating the power that could generate life, turning it into a light blade, and seriously cutting towards the boy's head.

Puff - the sound of flesh being cut was so slight that even the sound of the wind could not penetrate it, but Joshua could hear it. He controlled the light blade between his fingers, and solemnly broke open the cortex, muscles, and skull. When he turned his fingers, the force of steel cut open the skull, and the strong life force pressed the blood vessels and nerves, maintaining the life of the boy whose skull was lifted.

Already able to see the boy's bare brain, Joshua looked intently, and at the first glance, he saw something that he expected.

A light blue rune formation like a seal.

This seal-like rune array, like a product label, is accurately covered on the surface of the boy's brain, and it can be clearly seen that this rune array is absorbing some kind of strange power from the boy's body all the time , and then transformed into another force that penetrates the opponent's whole body. Joshua stretched out the light blade of his fingertips and touched the path of the rune formation. He sensed a quite clear resistance, as if he was rejecting the invasion of the force of steel.

"Can you still resist the modification of external energy?" Joshua nodded slightly: "It's quite delicate."

But the power of steel is an essential force that even the void mother beasts cannot resist. No matter how exquisitely designed a small rune formation is, it cannot resist Joshua's erosion analysis. The path of the rune array disappeared into nothingness, the boy blinked blankly, and then he passed out completely. At the same time, Joshua frowned, and he closed the opponent's skull. With the surge of vitality, the boy's wounds were all healed.

At this time, he also understood the function of the rune formation.

"Seal 'imagination', 'association ability', 'self-thinking ability', 'deep conception ability'...by directly modifying the mechanism of 'judgment' and 'choice' in the brain, completely seal the rune array of 'wisdom' Law."

Standing up, Joshua raised his head and looked around at the children who had fallen all around him. He said softly to himself, "The 'seal of thought' that directly turns enlightened and intelligent life into fleshy crops—and it can also guarantee the purity of the soul."

"The person who designed this set is simply a genius. If there is no accident and the ideological seal is not broken, then there will be no life in this world that can resist him."

How to resist? Without the power of association and deep thinking, human beings will become inferior to beasts, and they will not even have memory.

Although he was expressing appreciation, Joshua's tone was very indifferent. He didn't continue to look at the young children at his feet—it was useless to look at them, so what if he removed all the young children's thought stamps? A group of guys who are all newborn babies in their minds, letting them be freed abruptly is the same as not being freed.

Now, Joshua was going to the medical area mentioned by the unknown mechanic. He wanted to know how the so-called soul core was stripped out, and what the super power unit was.

He wants to thoroughly understand what is going on in this world.

The medical area is very close, it is next door to the maintenance area, diagonally opposite the unfinished bone building, it is a rectangular low building with a red pentagon logo on the front. Joshua came to the gate of the medical area. Surprisingly, there was no soul puppet guarding it. He didn't even see any other living beings or puppets inside.

"Transferred?" Joshua thought for a while, and immediately understood what was going on - since he left the maintenance area and destroyed four soul puppets, the command center of the soul puppets had probably discovered his existence, and then When he came down, he quickly destroyed the three puppets who were taking care of the children. Those commanders understood that ordinary puppets would be defeated in one blow when facing him.

However, if a large-scale battle is indeed taking place in the breeding area at this time, then the soul puppet side should not have enough manpower to come back to suppress him. Because of this, the commander simply evacuated the other nearby souls puppets and staff in order to minimize losses.

Very mechanical logic judgment. Joshua nodded. This sentence is a compliment. On the one hand, it saves him the time to clean up the garbage, and on the other hand, they can also preserve their strength. Thinking of this, the soldier strode into the medical area, he tapped the ground and the ceiling casually, and the force of steel shot out, paralyzing and eroding more than ten chains of concealed energy traps.

Since there is no time for the front, it is also a very wise judgment to use traps to delay the pace.

Entering the medical area, Joshua looked around the monotonously decorated hall. The hall is wide and tidy. On the edge of the wall, there are glass cabinets filled with silver-white metal boxes. In the center of the hall, there are some experimental benches scattered on them. A robotic arm to concoct chemical potions. And at the end of the hall, there is a cold door made of steel, which should be the 'operating room' that the unknown technician said.

Joshua's sensing device could detect a faint smell of blood and disinfectant, so he didn't pay much attention to it. The soldier strode towards the door of the operating room. The door was locked tightly. When it sensed someone approaching, it A light curtain was projected, and it seemed that some special soul wave could be released to unlock it, but how could Joshua have such a thing? How could he need keys and secret words? Warriors never need them.

Therefore, Joshua clenched his right fist and pulled it back. Then, he swung his fist neatly, making the sound of piercing through the air.

boom! boom! boom!

There were three rapid and violent roars in succession. After the three sounds, accompanied by the creaking sound of twisted steel, the extremely strong steel gate slowly fell backwards, splashing a piece of tile debris. Stepping through the door, Joshua entered the operating room, where he could sense more blood and more souls.

It seemed that it was because it was not turned on, and there was no light source inside the operating room, so it was very dim. However, the soldiers modified the puppet's eyes with their own lighting function. He turned on the light and scanned the inside of the operating room. Joshua saw many things that he had expected a long time ago.

corpse. Lots of dead bodies. Mutilated, brains gutted, souls stripped from corpses.

In the center of the operating room, there are twelve operating tables arranged in threes and fours. On the operating table, an incomparably bright blue magic light is shining. Joshua can tell at a glance that this blue magic light can attract human beings. The soul is out of the body, and on both sides of the operating room are two transport tracks, with corpses piled up on them. It can be seen that when the transport tracks are activated, they will send many children's corpses to the tracks like an assembly line. the other end of the

Joshua couldn't help being a little disappointed that he didn't find the guessed 'doctor' or 'soul puppet', but soon, he discovered that there was something strange about those corpses—separating the soul from the body does not require wounds, but those corpses are There are wounds of different sizes and not even in the same place.

Some had their brains taken out, some lost their hearts, some had their arms cut open and their arm bones removed, some lost their eyes, and both ears and inner ear cartilage were missing.

There is no pattern, every corpse has wounds and missing body parts, Joshua was puzzled for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

"Super power unit..."

He murmured, then turned his head and walked towards the medical hall. In the hall, Joshua walked towards the nearest glass cabinet. He smashed the door of the cabinet that also required the secret language of the soul, and then took out a silver-white metal box from it. Then look at the things placed in it.

They were a pair of eyes soaked in a glass jar, floating in a pale yellow liquid, shining with a strange purple magic light.

"Sure enough."

Joshua shook his head, and his tone was heavy: "The so-called super power unit, this is it... a part of the organ with extraordinary qualities."

This pair of magic eyes was swept away by Joshua's power of steel, and he already knew the supernatural powers it possessed - these are a pair of magic eyes that can directly modify human memory with their eyes, and they can even directly control wild beasts and insects, making thinking easier The wild beasts will serve him as master all their lives.

Raising his head, the soldier looked at the silver boxes on the four walls, which were packed full of them, and a few had thousands of them. Joshua felt an inexplicable coldness spreading throughout the room.

There is no doubt that the soul is not the only shepherding thing behind the soul puppet and the existence behind it. These children who are continuously sent from the breeding area have another important resource worthy of anyone's effort to collect—— Extraordinary organs.

Joshua's eyes scanned all the cabinets, and with his unique perception, he could perceive that these boxes contained shin bones that could make a person light as swallows, and strong hearts that could give people endless physical strength. It even has a brain capable of exerting thoughts, and special organs capable of emitting flames and ice.

As long as these organs are transplanted a little bit, or simply used as props, they can exert effects comparable to magic scrolls or permanent solidification spells. Joshua even saw an arm bone that can make the host release powerful ray magic. Even in the world of Mycroft, this kind of ray magic is quite threatening, and it is difficult to use it if you are not at the gold level, but here, as long as this arm bone is transplanted, the transplanted person is equivalent to an extra day. Horror magic that can be used at least six times.

However, this was not the reason why Joshua paid so much attention to these things.

Lowering his head and staring at the magic eyes in front of him, Joshua seemed to be staring at the eyes preserved in the nutrient solution.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand, and the silver light flickered in the center of the huge steel mechanical hand... At the same time, the light of the magic eye in the glass jar began to dim rapidly, and after a while, an almost indiscernible purple 'particle' Just like that, it appeared in Joshua's palm.

Not only this magic eye, but as the silver light in Joshua's palm grew bigger and brighter, all the metal boxes placed in the cabinets in the entire medical hall began to shake violently, as if At this time, it was like an earthquake, and then, within a few breaths, the silver light in the palm of Joshua was extremely bright. When it reached the peak, a 'particle' floated out from all the metal boxes, and then quickly Gathered in the hands of warriors!

Thousands of particles of different colors turned into an amorphous nebula, which spun in Joshua's palm, just like the nebula collected by the warrior when he traveled through the void.

A nebula of steel particles.

"A high concentration of 'super energy unit' was detected, and the loading procedure was started."

Suddenly, a slight electromagnetic fluctuation came from the part of Joshua's body that originally belonged to the soul puppet. It seemed to be a preset program. Port...failed to find. Looking for the built-in super power unit storage device...find failed. The body cannot load the super power unit."

Since the warrior completely modified his body, those so-called access ports and storage devices naturally disappeared, but Joshua did not need the authority of these steel particles, he only needed information.

And this preset notification program has already given him a lot of information.

"I see."

Gently nodding his head, Joshua looked at the Nebula of Steel Particles in his hand, and he finally understood the general process of human shepherding.

First of all, the main purpose of the soul puppets is still to collect as many souls as possible, but the world of Siberia is a small world after all, even if it undergoes huge changes, it cannot become a high-magic world, and any ordinary person can have a soul , the vast majority of human beings are almost worthless 'soulless'.

According to Joshua's inference, those ordinary Siberian soulless people in the breeding area only rely on their brains to think, and only need their brains to think. Only those who have experienced technical work for many years, such as those who are similar to unknown technicians Existence, because of the tempering of various high-intensity mental work, the soul can be tempered the day after tomorrow.

And those children who are selected and sent to the garden area from all over the breeding area are because they have steel particles... because of their authority, because of their natural supernatural organs, they can naturally possess all kinds of supernatural organs. Strength, and soul.

As for the source of the so-called superpowers, there is really no better explanation—the whole world of Siberia is right in the center of the great vortex of void. God knows how many worlds they come from, and how thick the particles of steel will wear with their own power. After passing through this world, even if 99% of them just pass through once and leave, there is still one percent that will be captured by mortals.

For these mortals, obtaining the power of 'superpower' is equivalent to gradually cultivating a 'soul' that can use superpowers. But what they never expected was that this was actually not a good thing. With a soul, it was equivalent to sending themselves into the pasture of death.

In the world of Mycroft, being lucky enough to be possessed by particles of steel and possessing authority can be said to have reached the sky in one step. Since then, he has the capital to embark on the extraordinary road, just like those young "warlocks" accepted by the White Tower of Guantian, But in the world of Siberia, this kind of "luck" is the real way to kill. The souls of those lucky ones will be stripped, their abilities will be collected, and their flesh and bones will become the treasure of this huge ranch. Part of it is that they cherish the incomparable human resources and meat crops.

Joshua silently put away the nebula formed by the particles of steel in his hand... Each particle is equivalent to the death of a Siberian child who possessed superpowers but had his soul and separation ability removed. , with nearly 10,000 particles, which means the death of nearly 10,000 Siberians who were slaughtered as livestock just after they reached adulthood.

And this is just the super energy unit stored in this medical hall. He doesn't believe that there will only be one such facility, and there are only so many cabinets for storage.

But the soldier's heart at this time was unexpectedly calm, he didn't even have much anger, because Joshua knew that in this situation, anger was useless, even harmful, when a person's heart flustered The time is when he is about to face failure.

Joshua had a vague guess in his mind: the reason why the world of Siberia was able to change from a low-magic world to a demon-poisoned world in a thousand years may be related to its location in the center of the great vortex of the void and the erosion of countless steel particles... ...Even the steel python Siberia was kicked out of his body, and the whole world became what it is today, which is also inseparable from the existence of the void maelstrom.

He has not forgotten his purpose of coming to this world.

However, just when Joshua was about to turn his head and leave the medical area, and went to other places in the garden area to check the situation, suddenly, the ground shook violently, causing many cracks even on the surface of the low and solid medical area. An incomparably louder explosion sounded from far away, and it approached rapidly, setting off bursts of violent sound waves in the air.

"what happened?"

The soldier was also quite surprised by this. He strode out the door and looked towards the direction where the explosion sound came from, that is, the east. Joshua saw that the eastern breeding area, far away from the garden, seemed to be the end of the experiment. At the moment, it was shining with colorful light, and a huge mushroom cloud was slowly rising from there, straight into the sky.

At this moment, the original white dome lights quickly turned red.

"Warning, warning: The enemy has broken through the fourth line of defense in the eastern breeding area, and the outer line of defense has been completely defeated."

Accompanied by the sudden sound of the siren and the warning lights that quickly turned red, an inorganic voice without the slightest emotion resounded throughout the garden area: "The guard puppets gather collectively and go to the eastern breeding area to join the battle!"

It's almost the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket
