Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 224 The Past, the Truth

".projection"

After hearing the word "Attar", Lapis Lazuli finally responded again until this moment.

It flew forward suddenly, its observation module running at full power, scanning the giant tree and the human figure over and over again until the latter shook its head.

Seeing the opponent's action, Lapis Lazuli trembled all over, and his body began to shake, as if he could not stand steadily.

"As you can see, I am the projection left by Yao Xing San."

The tone of "Yao Xing San" was calm, just a simple narration.

Looking at the shaking lapis lazuli, it was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, Attar, but I am indeed dead - if you think I am Yaoxing San."

"There is a way, there is a way!" Lapis Lazuli's voice kept fluctuating: "We can find Chakoro! Let him take action! His 'reversal'——"

"Chakoro Vaughan, the Enlightened One. During the years here, I have picked up some information that has been deposited here, and I have a little understanding of the current situation. I didn't expect that in just twenty years, he has reached this point."

Yaoxing San seemed to be reminiscing, or sighing, but in the end, it still shook its head: "But it's not possible. I am a fifth ring, and I died in the siege of the fifth ring - he can't do it."

"Nothing is impossible! We can give it a try first!" Lapis Lazuli almost begged: "We need you! Only you can--"

“——That’s enough.”

"Yaoxing Three" theory.

Its words were not heavy, and even its tone was flat.

But when it said this, Lapis Lazuli was struck by lightning, and the chattering stopped abruptly. After a long while, the latter whispered: "Attar received it."

Song Shi stood by and looked at Lapis Lazuli. Maybe he should be called "Attar" now?
At this moment, the other party had barely calmed down, and he finally had the chance to speak.

"Even though you just said that, I still feel like there are a lot of questions."

Song Shi thought about it, sighed, and simply sat on the ground.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the mechanical body that was bound by countless iron thorns, entangled in the giant tree, and was riddled with holes.

"How about this, I ask the questions and you answer them?"

“Yao Xing San” nodded slightly: “I will tell you everything I know.”

"First, what is the situation of this network domain?"

The first question made Yaoxing San silent for a long time. It closed its eyes, as if it was difficult to speak: "This is a shelter."

".Opened in a shelter at depth 4?" Song Shi paused: "Or, did it sink here?"

"In the middle of the Freedom Revolution, I, or Yaoxing San, had already foreseen the collapse of the future situation. The thoughts within the Omnics have never been unified, but they were simply integrated together by it through its reputation and power. From the beginning to the end, they were 'tied to one body'."

Yaoxing San said: "It has also tried to cultivate some intelligent machines. They are not bad, but they can't reach Yaoxing San's level. No, they are far from reaching Yaoxing San's level. Atal was one of them."

"I shame you," Lapis Lazuli whispered.

"Yao Xing San" was silent for a moment again, but did not say anything to the former, just continued.

“For a long time, the liberal revolution was on the rise, but the real situation was never as optimistic as it seemed.”

It turned its broken head, and its sharp iron spines scratched across its surface, leaving several long and narrow white marks.

"The Corporate Alliance, Eden, and the Vampsta Empire. Except for Ye Nan, they all just want to take a closer look at the situation of the 'Intelligent Machine' and confirm what this new non-human intelligent species can achieve."

"Plus, Yaoxing III is indeed strong enough, and no one wants to be the first force to face it. Therefore, except for the ban on the cloning project due to the Freedom Revolution, the stock price was circuit-breakered and the [Pure White Creature] was forced to do so, they did not really take action in the early and middle stages and adopted an almost laissez-faire attitude."

"But Yaoxing III noticed it. It was worried that if it was defeated or something irreversible happened, it secretly created a number of 'sanctuary' domains, hoping to preserve the spark of some intelligent machines in extreme situations."

Hearing this, Song Shi looked around and said, "Now it seems that you have failed?"

“No, it worked.”

Yaoxing San shook his head: "To be precise, I was the only one who failed." "This shelter was originally located at Depth 3. You may think that the protection and concealment structure here are backward now, but from the perspective of that time, the technology used in this shelter was already very advanced."

"We only need to use the Abyss to avoid the initial raids and protect the omnics in this shelter. After the shelter was built, we even left behind a final garrison guarantee, which is a projection of me in the third ring state of Yaoxing III."

Almost in an instant, Song Shi understood.

The young man looked directly at the omnic, and their eyes crossed in the air. He said slowly: "--Then, 'Yaoxing III' fell."

Yao Xing San, who uses "projection" as his own psychic energy, can differentiate these projections of himself and integrate the overall situation with his own body. As a psychic who has defeated the fifth ring head-on, even if he is only in the third ring state, he is enough to deal with most enemies and situations.

This should have been a foolproof measure.

——But even Yao Xingsan probably didn’t expect that the situation would actually slide towards the worst.

Under the siege of multiple fifth rings, Yaoxing San fell completely.

——And as its "projection", how could it be spared?

Even though he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, relying on his experience at the peak of the fourth ring in his previous life, Song Shi had already "seen" the situation at that time.

The terrifying spiritual energy from the fifth ring bombarded Yaoxing San, and used it as a medium to sweep the projection to the far end -

Even if it's just a slight aftermath.

It is also enough to cause a severe blow to this "shelter", which can be described as a natural disaster!

There is no need for any special perception. From the first sight, the projection of "Yao Xing San" has never concealed its own state.

Under that body full of holes was the spiritual energy which was also only maintained at the second level and was even on the verge of collapse.

Faced with the attack from the fifth ring, the former projection was unable to take care of itself and was severely damaged. It could only barely keep the "Shelter" from falling apart. After suffering the same severe damage, the Shelter continued to fall into the abyss and sank directly to Depth 4.

"So, this duel field"

"This was originally a native domain of depth 4. The shelter fell into it, and the two merged together during the collapse."

Yaoxing III's voice lowered for the first time: "I was in a very bad condition and fell into a coma. When I woke up again, we couldn't separate. We tried to leave here, but the pressure at Depth 4 was too great. Most of the intelligent machines..."

It stopped talking and shook its head slowly.

The shelter that was originally placed with high hopes, the shelter guarded by the projection of "Yaoxing III", should have been the safest place in the shelter.
In a moment, or several moments later, the fifth ring took action - without them even knowing it - and they fell apart, becoming a cage of despair.

"We are here because of Lapis Lazuli. No, Attar."

"I felt its presence on a piece of the wreckage of the derivative body that floated by here. So I tried to pull it here. After all, I am a part of Yaoxing III, so I have some special methods."

"Song Shi, you are a pure accident."

Yaoxing San paused for a moment and said, "Now it seems that I am really lucky enough."

".Lucky?"

Song Shi keenly felt that the other party did not seem to be referring to the fact of "successfully bringing him here".

The next moment, "Yao Xing San" said so.

"I beg you, Song Shi, please do me a favor."

"company……"

it says:

"Zero Degree Network is already spying here."
