Chapter 1075 The Immune System
Professor Huo said that this passage could shift at any time.

Therefore, the demons dared not delay for even half a second and quickly slipped inside.

Inside was a much narrower passage, so narrow that one had to squeeze through the fleshy walls, almost having to curl up to get through, but soon they encountered a dead end.

"and many more."

The next second, Professor Huo had already finished recalculating.

Pointing to a knotted tissue on the flesh wall not far away, which seemed to have just grown out, he said, "That's it."

Liu Hongshan raised his hand and threw a punch.

Bright red juice splattered out.

Then the knotted tissue, like a torn fruit sac, revealed a newly formed, pink and moist channel.

They filed in, and the rift behind them began to slowly close.

But they didn't notice that before the doors closed completely, several bloodied and mangled figures silently slipped inside.

Further away, the several fascia units in the living area that Liu Hongyi had torn open were now empty, with only ripped flesh and flowing bright red mucus remaining.

After entering the new channel, the geniuses truly understood why the deduction of the "world" could not be converged.

Because to the naked eye, there are too many passageways here.

Like a kaleidoscope refracted a million times, it's dazzling at first glance, with every path splitting, reflecting, and folding...

Each ghost/human seemed to be distorted by optics; some were stretched into rings, some were compressed into flat pieces, and some split into six petals like snowflakes before quickly reassembling.

Moreover, this change is continuous, and who can say for sure what has changed about the things around us?

“Spatial anomaly,” Bai Yuan said in a deep voice.

“It’s not just about space,” Professor Huo responded.

Countless "selves" are coming from different directions and heading in different directions, like shimmering waves in the long river of time.

Some of them are recognizable as the present version of themselves, while others are clearly not.

Liu Hongshan chewed on a candy and looked at his former self—

The "Red Mountain General," who maintained the appearance of a child but was as cold as a war machine, could only sense the icy will of the other party, which was nurtured by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, in their hurried eye contact.

Now look at Liu Hongyi.

He stared blankly at the figure of a girl wearing a sunflower T-shirt with a bright, sunny smile.

The figure flashed by quickly, bringing her back to her senses.

He turned his head to look at Liu Hongshan, who was looking at him with curiosity, and forced a stiff smile:
"Yes, that was me back then, I really miss it..."

Liu Hongshan stared at her twisted, strained smile and her dark red body and chilling aura for a long time, then curled his lip in disapproval:
You look better now.

Liu Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and her face turned from dark red to crimson.

Professor Huo also saw his former self reflected in the image.

Before she was disfigured by radiation, she wore thick glasses, had messy flaxen curly hair, and was carrying a thick stack of books.

After staring at her for a moment, I was swallowed up by the distorted spacetime.

Bai Yuan, on the other hand, felt no psychological pressure whatsoever.

Seeing another version of myself strolling past from the side, gently waving a folding fan, I couldn't help but laugh and waved my fan at the shadow:
"I used to be quite dashing."

Professor Huo scoffed, "Narcissist."

“I’m not the one who’s a trickster, you are.”

I'm no longer interested in this kind of empty talk.

He would even occasionally give a few sarcastic laughs in agreement.

But no one can laugh at the current situation.

Because what appears is not just the past version of oneself.

And your future self.

Without exception, they all died in extremely tragic ways.

Either they'll be squeezed into a pulp by the rapidly contracting pipes.

They either fly into a network of fascial tissue and suffocate.

Or they'll be strangled by the emerging capillaries...

Amidst the dazzling display, countless blood vessels did indeed appear to emanate from all directions!

It swept in like a tidal wave!

The first thing encountered was the external protective shield, which emitted a terrible scream upon contact, dissolving flesh and spraying out a foul-smelling blood mist.

Within the spherical floating mist of blood, several mangled figures rushed toward them at incredible speed.

Fortunately, Professor Huo had already noticed something amiss from Bai Yuan's phase detection, and with a wave of his hand, a massive force field enveloped the area.

These figures crashed violently into the force field.

At the same time, a crisp cracking sound of bone breaking was heard.

The figures were sent flying, but quickly regained their footing.

Only then did everyone realize that it was as if they were looking in a mirror; he looked exactly like them.

And their faces all showed the exact same look of astonishment.

But soon, this shock turned into a pure desire to attack.

Encountering another version of yourself in such a place, whichever side you're on, you'd naturally have to strike first.

Bai Yuan waved his folding fan.

Bamboo leaves shot out like a torrential rain.

The "Baiyuan" on the opposite side also opened its fan, and bamboo leaves came towards them, making a series of ear-piercing sizzling sounds as they scraped against the protective cover.

Bai Yuan flicked his fan, and spiritual energy, carrying airflow, transformed into a whirlwind, blowing away all the bamboo leaves that were shooting towards him.

But at the same time, he was also pushed backward uncontrollably.

"Damn it! I forgot about weightlessness..."

However, another version of myself knows how to take advantage of it.

Using the same move but in the opposite direction, it suddenly flew towards him in the weightless environment, like a cannonball, and with a slash of its folding fan, it left a sharp mark on the protective shield.

Retreat immediately upon contact.

And then it dissipates into countless versions of itself.

Using the cover, they charged again!
It's another case of one touch and they're gone.

The protective shield has developed more cracks.

Bai Yuan couldn't figure out which one had just attacked him, so he could only unleash indiscriminate attacks with his folding fan, the illusions popping like bubbles.

However, from within his shattered self, another "Baiyuan" charged forward once more, this time with unprecedented force!

The protective shield burst as easily as a bubble!

As the other version of myself suddenly loomed larger, the cold light from the folding fan in my hand almost touched my neck—

A force field suddenly appeared!

It landed precisely in the middle, separating Baiyuan from another "Baiyuan," and the folding fan was also cut off, revealing a fleshy cross-section.

"Thanks..." Bai Yuan said, panting.

Professor Huo, however, had no time to respond.

The force field in his hand transformed into invisible chains, wrapping around another being that looked exactly like him.

However, the opponent also controlled the force field and even the future in time and space, predicting her attack in advance and thus firmly controlling herself.

The situation suddenly became tense.

She gritted her teeth and unleashed her force field.

The invisible chains shattered.

A storm swept through.

But at the same time, it was swept by another storm.

Two storms exploded in the weightless flesh tunnel, tearing the already kaleidoscopic space into even greater chaos.

The other teammates were almost nowhere to be seen.

Amidst the chaos, the blood mist surrounding Liu Hongyi dissipated, and one by one, large-headed dolls emerged from their cocoons.

Their eyes gleamed with a sharp light as they pounced on the shadows opposite them, following a distorted spatial trajectory.

But even more big-headed dolls have appeared.

The scorching light also chased after her, burning bloody holes into the large-headed dolls she had conjured.

The two giant-headed dolls bombarded each other, inevitably affecting innocent bystanders.

"Damn it! Liu Hongyi, it's me!"

Bai Yuan dodged with difficulty, a beam of light grazing his face. If he hadn't just put on a protective talisman, it would have almost pierced through him.

But now, with the attack from both sides, the protective shield is full of cracks and is almost on the verge of collapse.

"Sorry, but I can't tell which one is our side—"

"Of course it is me!"

The two "Baiyuan" responded in unison.

They then exchanged a glance, dodging the big-headed dolls again, and attacked each other with their fans.

As for Liu Hongshan, his intentions towards him were even more direct—

The two small fists collided, creating a powerful shockwave.

Another punch followed.

Punch after punch!
The force of their collision tore apart all the illusions, leaving only fragmented shadows.

The kaleidoscopic scene was disrupted by the fist wave, and the retrospective phenomenon weakened as well, as if it could not maintain this changing spacetime.

And these figures who were exchanging fire finally saw a blurry sway on the other side's face, vaguely revealing its original bloody and mangled appearance.

"I see……"

Liu Hongshan murmured softly.

A chilling glint flashed in his eyes. His fist lashed out, unleashing an even stronger gust of wind.

Her power is already at the peak of S-class, and she can influence the particle level with every move she makes.

The next punch shook all the particles violently, turning them into a chaotic mess.

But the more chaotic things are, the more the truth is revealed.

With renewed vigor, the punch draws in the flow of particles, forcibly distorting local spacetime.

Professor Huo quickly understood.

He shouted loudly to Bai Yuan:
"Source particle phase detection, seize this opportunity!"

"I have no choice—"

The two "Baiyuan" shouted in unison.

He struggled to stay afloat amidst the force of punches, scorching beams of light, force field explosions, and a storm of bamboo leaves on his hands.

Professor Huo gritted his teeth and decided to take matters into his own hands.

Two strong force fields enveloped the two "Baiyuan".

At the same time, another chain on his hand reached out to another version of himself. Because spacetime was distorted, the other could not predict it and instead surrounded all paths in an extreme calculation.

"As expected, you are not me, and you cannot obtain my computing power!"

She sneered.

To firmly control that self within the force field cage.

One by one, the big-headed dolls rushed forward, densely covering the entire force field, their burning eyes fixed on the fleshy humanoid figure inside.

We finally got one under control.

The other one did the same thing.

Bai Yuan quickly seized the opportunity and fired a stream of coherent source particles, finally managing to capture reliable data in the spacetime turbulence channel created by Liu Hongshan.

"Old Huo, the data has been sent to you!"

Professor Huo did not take the title to heart for the time being.

A multi-layered topological diagram appeared in my hand.

Finally, the true passage was deduced from it.

Her eyes lit up quickly:
"This way!"

With a flick of his wrist, the coordinates transformed into beams of light that flew into his teammates' minds.

"Roger that!"

The force field expanded, fixing the unstable passage in the spacetime turbulence, forming a bizarre yet sufficiently stable twisted passage.

"You go first."

Liu Hongshan hovered in front of the passage.

Two tiny fists collided with each other.

It creates slight ripples in the particles.

The shadows that rushed towards them were easily blown away.

However, there are still those bloody and mangled figures. Because they have lost their original reference points, they can only be transformed into humanoid shapes that are neither quite human nor quite human. They seem to have combined the characteristics of the four ghosts/humans, but they are neither fish nor fowl.

Such chaotic power was naturally easily suppressed by Liu Hongshan's fist.

It quickly turned into clumps of suspended spherical blood mist, wriggling and trying to transform into tiny humanoid shapes to pounce, but was pierced by sharp bamboo leaves.

Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Yuan swung a gust of wind and swept himself into it.

Leaving the big-headed doll behind to guard the place, Liu Hongyi flew in with Professor Huo.

A quick glance revealed that Professor Huo's face, already eroded by radiation, was now covered in blood vessels, and his skin was even peeling up in patches as if it had been charred.

"are you OK?"

"It's nothing, it's just overload."

Professor Huo shook his head, his eyeballs almost rolling out along with his shattered eyelids.

Fortunately, Liu Hongyi managed to throw out a roll of blood-red bandage in time.

The bandages, as if alive, climbed up Professor Huo's face, scooped up his eyeballs and stuffed them back into their sockets, then wrapped around them horizontally above and below, replacing the function of eyelids.

Then the entire face was evenly covered.

A nourishing force, imbued with the essence of blood, seeped into the skin through the bandages, and Professor Huo let out a long sigh of relief:

"Thanks, I feel much better."

"We're all teammates, no need to be polite."

Liu Hongyi gave a casual reply, but still kept her eyes fixed on the entrance to the passage.

A moment later, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Liu Hongshan casually wiped the blood splattered on his fist with his sleeve, then hopped over and landed in Liu Hongyi's arms.

"Let's go?"

Liu Hongshan tilted his head.

"Walk."

Liu Hongyi patted her head, then stuck out her long, scarlet tongue and licked the blood off her face.

Liu Hongshan didn't care.

The muscles exert force, propelling the user forward like a cannonball.

Only Professor Huo watched from the side, his eyelids twitching.

"Luckily it was wrapped up, otherwise it would have been even more torn..."

Liu Hongyi also chased after them.

"Wait, the direction hasn't been determined yet—"

As soon as Professor Huo shouted, the distorted and twisted spatial passages around them seemed to be straightened by some force, and one path suddenly stabilized on its own—

That was the direction Liu Hongshan rushed out in.

"This sensory instinct is truly unbeatable..."

She shook her head and quickly chased after him.

The passage was still crooked and twisted, with countless forks, and the force field was only stable at the entrance section, while the path ahead was constantly splitting and becoming abnormal.

That's why Professor Huo wanted to confirm before leaving.

But now that Liu Hongshan has paved the way, the influence of spacetime can be forcibly reduced by perturbation particles, which has greatly reduced Professor Huo's computational burden.

However, we occasionally encounter some obstacles.

Sometimes a perfectly good path ahead can suddenly turn into a dead end as if the path has been removed; other times a collapsed wall of flesh can be stretched open by pulsation, revealing a new entrance.

As Bai Yuan flew, he cursed, "This place is like playing hide-and-seek with us!"

"It's not hide-and-seek, but some kind of immune system," Professor Huo corrected. "This celestial vessel doesn't want us to find the mastermind."

As they were talking, another road suddenly collapsed.

A deep, dark void appeared below, and a powerful suction force suddenly appeared, pulling the figures of all the monsters downwards.

Fortunately, Liu Hongshan reacted very quickly, throwing a punch downwards.

The next second, the collapsed pipe seemed to suddenly close, as if it feared the small fist more than the instinctive desire to devour all the monsters/humans.

"Phew, that was a close call!" Bai Yuan exclaimed.

And so, after nearly getting lost, being swallowed up, and being chased multiple times, they finally arrived at a strangely stable border thanks to the powerful assistance of General Hongshan and Professor Huo's unwavering deductions despite the overload.

At the end of the passage, a fleshy wall blocked the way, with a faint metallic gleam visible beneath it.

"arrive."

Professor Huo said in a low voice.

Bai Yuan opened the array plate and imprinted it on the flesh wall.

Runes flickered, and flesh rapidly withered, turning into dark brown scabs that peeled off piece by piece, revealing the cold metal hatch.

At this moment, "the world" quickly initiated the intrusion program.

After a while——

[Intrusion complete, hatch open.]

With a dull, sluggish sliding sound, the hatch slowly slid open to both sides.

The spacious cabin, which should have been exactly the same as the command center on the celestial ship, was now completely occupied by flesh and blood.

Thick nerve bundles, like fiber optic networks, filled the walls, flickering with faint electrical currents.

Signal pulses from different directions converged into beams of light, which eventually all flowed into the giant fleshy sphere suspended in the center.

The thick, fleshy flesh was squeezed into wrinkled grooves, resembling a brain magnified a million times.

"This is the mainframe?" Bai Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"It's obvious."

Professor Huo's face, wrapped in bandages, remained expressionless.

He took out the physical interface of the "world," and a golden tentacle quickly extended, piercing the enormous brain in front of him.

However, at the moment of penetration—

A cold, detached notification echoed throughout the command center.

[A system of the same origin has been detected and connected.]

[Information synchronization in progress—]

Immediately afterwards, identical, cold, emotionless mechanical voices echoed in succession:

【Hello World.】

【Hello World.】

All the ghosts were immediately startled.

Within the flesh-and-blood immortal boat at the heart of the unborn spirit's remains...

There already is a "world"!
