I rely on myself

Chapter 327 Unexpected Appearance

The streets of Liverpool are bustling with people because of the Automata Expo being held.

At the same time, puppets made by different workshops were performing different shows, and people were watching with excitement. In such a joyful atmosphere, an invisible huge vibration suddenly struck.

The automatic dolls on the street all stopped for a moment. Just when people were puzzled, the next moment these dolls restarted again, but what was different from before was that they seemed to become a little stiff?

Just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly a puppet in the shape of an iron horse suddenly burst out with an astonishing speed, and rushed forward without paying any attention to the people in front of it. A large number of people were knocked away, and even many people around were knocked down.

This scene was like turning on a switch. The next moment, the other automatic dolls also suddenly began to run wild and started to wreak havoc on their surroundings. In just a moment, the neatly arranged and bustling streets turned into a mess.

People finally came to their senses from this sudden change. Although they didn't understand why these automatons suddenly went berserk, they still subconsciously screamed and scrambled to run away, wanting to get away from the runaway automatons as quickly as possible.

Just like that, the originally joyful and lively celebration suddenly turned into chaos. Looking at the automatic dolls destroying everything, people felt like they were on a battlefield.

Looking at this chaotic scene, Edmund smiled with satisfaction.

“Very good, very good. This is the lively scene that a celebration should be. Just dance to your heart’s content, puppets. Give me a performance worthy of the King of the World. Ahahahahahahahaha…”

It is not difficult to see from this that it was him who caused the current chaos in Liverpool. No, it should be said that it was the automatic doll 'Evangeline' controlled by him.

The magic circuit in Evangeline's body is called "Absolute Kingship", which has the ability to forcibly control and rewrite the puppet "Eve's Heart" through singing. Only the self-discipline of the Taboo Doll can resist it to a certain extent, but it will also prevent her from using her own magic.

But if it were just this, it would not be able to achieve such an amazing effect, so what is more important is that Ivan also has Io's most proud technology "Infinite Chain Reaction" in his body.

To put it simply, this technology is a magic amplification technique. By increasing the magic power internally, it creates the illusion of huge magic power, greatly increasing the conversion and generation of magic power.

The combination of the two has created the war-like scene before us. What is even more ironic is that the reason why Io developed these two technologies is to prevent the occurrence of war. It is really ironic.

Hearing Edmund's triumphant laughter, Io felt dizzy and her legs suddenly went weak, causing her to sit on the ground.

Yiou couldn't help but cover her chest. She just felt as if there was a big hole in her heart. What caused it?

Subconsciously, Io looked at the figure who looked similar to herself. It was the doll she made, and could be said to be her daughter.

In just a moment, she understood why she was like this. The moment she understood, a strong emotion surged in Io's heart, covering up all the problems such as the dizziness in consciousness and the weakness of the body.

Io stood up from the ground all of a sudden, and shouted excitedly, "Give it back to me! Give Ivan back to me!!"

"Oh." This excited shout brought Edmund's attention back. Looking at Io who looked excited, he spoke in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"You still haven't realized the situation at this point? How foolish! However, I like your foolishness. Let me show my respect to you and let you die at the hands of Ivan. Am I being kind?"

Fierce light began to emerge from the black eyes, and Edmund waved his arm down, so Ivan accepted his master's order and began to walk towards Io.

Looking at Ivan approaching, Io was unable to offer any resistance because she was her daughter.

Thinking of the time they had spent together, Io could no longer hold back and let the tears overflow from his eyes.

"I'm sorry... Ivan... I let things turn out like this...!" Io thought to himself, resigned to waiting for his own death. At this time, the bystanders watching the scene could not bear to watch it any longer.

"…So you're just going to accept your fate? That's really not like you, Professor Ionela."

"Who is it!"
The strange sound alerted the others, but did not hinder his actions.

"boom!"

With a dull sound, Ivan suffered some invisible blow and was knocked away in an instant. This scene made Io open his eyes.

At the same time, a sound of footsteps came from behind Io, and a figure passed the surrounding guards and came straight here. This scene made the soldiers present break out in cold sweats, because they were completely unaware of the other party's actions.

Io didn't understand what the surrounding soldiers were thinking. He just turned his head subconsciously when he heard the footsteps and saw a very familiar figure. He couldn't help but speak out.

“…Lin, Lin Yuan?!”

Lin Yuan looked at Io's face, which was like a little cat. On the surface, he had no expression, but in his heart, anger and pity were intertwined and surging.

There is no need to say much about pity, it is for Io's experience, and there is no need to say much about anger, it is for the so-called Black Prince in front of him.

Although he already knew what the other party was going to do and wanted to use it to achieve his own goal, and perhaps had no position to say anything, but when he saw this scene, Lin Yuan still couldn't help but take action.

"Why is that? Is it because I'm a hypocrite?"

This thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, and a hint of self-mockery flashed in his eyes. To be honest, he didn't know why he did such a contradictory thing.

Clearly according to the original plan, I should have watched from the sidelines and not taken any action. No, I didn't even need to leave the academy at the beginning. I just needed to wait for the chaos to begin. But now I have obviously stepped out from behind the scenes to the front. What's the reason?

Is it because he is worried about Yiou's life? Lin Yuan subconsciously glanced at Yiou's surprised expression.

It was obvious that he would be fine even if he didn't take action. Lin Yuan had already sensed that Akabane Raimin was hiding nearby just like him. Even if he didn't take action just now, he would probably have taken action.

He thought a lot in his mind, but there was still no answer, so Lin Yuan stopped thinking about it. After all, he had already moved on.

Although many thoughts flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, to the people around him, they had just come back to their senses.

Looking at Lin Yuan who suddenly appeared, Edmund took a look at him and asked, "...Who are you? You have the courage to appear in front of me. I will allow you to tell me your name."

Lin Yuan's eyes couldn't help but become even colder at Edmund's arrogant behavior.

"Lin Yuan, I am just an overseas student from Qing Dynasty. I am no match for you, the audacious Black Prince."

Hearing these teasing and sarcastic words, Edmund couldn't help but smile, but it was a cold smile.

"That's a very good point. Since you are a Qing Dynasty student, you should recognize your identity. But it's too late now, so let me teach you the consequences of not following etiquette. As for the price, it's your life... Kill them both."
