Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. You wait here for the new mechanical lifeform." Lin Yi didn't intend to explain any further.

The shield had already intervened in the source block's activation process. Hearing Lin Yi say this, it immediately asked, "And what about you?"

"Me? Of course I'll go back to the space ruins first," Lin Yi said matter-of-factly.

"I will adjust the time flow here to the theoretically safe limit. You just wait here."

Although the time he had been away was not long, it was not short either, and Lin Yi needed to hurry back and check on things.

"Go on, go on." The shield waved its small metal claws; there was no point in Lin Yi staying here anyway.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi disappeared from Time City. In a flash, he reappeared at the entrance to the ninth floor.

The scene before him was exactly the same as before. Lin Yi tried to extend his senses, but it was the same as before...

Hmm? Something's different now.

Lin Yi found that his senses seemed to be moving slowly toward the white area, as if he were entering a fruitcake.

Previously, my perception was like hitting a wall, stuck and unable to move forward.

And this time...

The perception continued to advance, but the obstacles became increasingly stronger until it finally stopped completely after advancing several kilometers.

What's going on? Have I been strengthened, or is there a problem with the regional characteristics of the ninth layer?

Never mind that for now. After sensing that there was no one within a few kilometers, Lin Yi activated his perception and stepped into the white area.

The automatic teleportation begins the moment you step inside.

Lin Yi felt his body sink for a moment before returning to normal.

When Lin Yi had completely calmed down, he was already holding a black battle axe.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any reflection dolls.

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry to set off immediately, but instead tested his spatial teleportation ability.

Okay, good, it's been blocked.

The feature should be working correctly, or rather, this part of the feature should be fine.

He twirled the axe in his hand, his senses telling him that there was no life within several kilometers of him.

So, which direction should we go?

Lin Yi looked around, but all he could see was blank space.

Whether it's a dimensional gap world or a spatial ruin, the white coverage is too high, making it seem so unreal.

Lin Yi had never told anyone that this sense of unreality had existed since he stepped into the dimensional gap world, and it had not disappeared until now.

"Since there are no clues... let's just pick a direction randomly."

Lin Yi floated into the air, leaving the choice to his sixth sense, and subconsciously moved in one direction.

What he was thinking about was reuniting with Eli and the other two.

Coincidentally, the direction Lin Yi chose was exactly the same direction Eli was in.

And what about Eli at this moment? He was already starting to lose his mind.

The mysterious feeling that appeared inexplicably after the teleportation has changed without me even realizing it.

Whispers began to appear in his ears, in a language Eli had never encountered or understood before, yet strangely, he could vaguely understand some of its meaning.

Destruction... rebirth... something and something.

At first, Eli still had the energy to study and explore what the whispers were trying to express.

But as the whispering continued for longer, she began to become increasingly delirious.

In a daze, she also saw different figures appearing in front of her.

Those figures looked familiar. Were they Lola and Luger? Eli wasn't sure; he only knew they were blurry and seemed to be swaying.

That wasn't the end of it; Eli could clearly feel his sanity starting to fail him as well.

Reason told her to leave as soon as possible, but emotion told her she couldn't leave Luger and Lola behind.

Eli thought she could hold on a little longer, but things clearly didn't go as she expected.

As his reason crumbled, a strange glimmer began to appear in Eli's eyes.

In the end, she tried to take Eli away from there, but it was too late.

The loose bracelet automatically returned to the wrist, flashing with a light.

The dimensional shuttle detected Eli's anomaly, but did not take any action on its own.

The high level of intelligence that was once displayed now seemed to be non-existent, and Xiao Wei watched all of this quietly like an observer.

Eli's eyes gleamed faintly but were unfocused, and he gradually lost the ability to fly, falling from the sky and wandering aimlessly on the ground.

I don't know where to go, where to get to, or what my destination is.

Until, without realizing it, Eli vaguely noticed that within the familiar, unseen image before him, three unusually solid, completely unfamiliar black figures had appeared...

Eli wanted to be on guard, but the next moment, the three dark figures changed their outlines.

These three silhouettes were different from the blurry, familiar figures, and Eli quickly confirmed the identities of the shadowy figures.

These are clearly Lin Yi, Luger, and Lola.

"Where have you all been?" Eli asked with a smile as he walked toward the three of them.

The three remained motionless as Eli approached, scrutinizing them with suspicion.

"Why have you turned into shadows? What happened?"

The sound echoed, but Eli didn't notice it at all. However, as she looked at the three of them, a faint sense of unease rose in her heart.

"Is it not safe here? Should we leave?"

Eli continued talking to himself, subconsciously touching his wrist.

"That's strange...where's my bracelet?"

After feeling around for a while without finding anything, Eli looked suspiciously at his wrist, only to find that the bracelet wasn't there.

"It's gone..." Eli was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Yi with some embarrassment and guilt, wanting to apologize, but before she could say anything, she heard Lin Yi's voice.

"Can't find it?"

"Ah... um." Eli nodded blankly, noticing a slight change in Lin Yi's voice.

What is it?

Eli frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Oh! Lin Yi's voice was devoid of emotion, as dry and lifeless as the mechanical lifeforms she had encountered before.

"Since you can't find it, you don't need to go out."

The voice rang out again, and the dark figure with Lin Yi's silhouette stepped forward, his hand moving like ink, quickly forming a battle axe.

"What...does that mean?" Eli didn't react in time. Before he could finish his question, he saw "Lin Yi" leap high into the air, raise his axe above his head, and swing it down at him.

Eli stared in disbelief at Lin Yi in the sky; she never imagined that "Lin Yi" would attack her for a bracelet.

Is this bracelet really that important? She was just worried about Lin Yi.

As Lin Yi and the battle axe drew ever closer, Eli's combat instincts acted before he could even think.

The next second, the battle axe grazed past Eli.

Eli twitched his nose, his initial bewildered and aggrieved mood quickly fading, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes.

"You're not Lin Yi, who are you?"

The smell is wrong, the energy properties are wrong, and the way the battle axe is used to strike is wrong!

Oh! This sense of incongruity is probably because the person opposite clearly has Lin Yi's appearance, yet isn't Lin Yi himself!
