Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

As the light of purification continued to fall, the scream within An Xin's body grew fainter and fainter.

Ultimately, it disappeared completely.

But the seriousness in her eyes hadn't faded, and her face remained extremely pale. Su Mu quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's hidden." An Xin's voice was a little hoarse. "It's no use for me to use the Light of Purification anymore."

"What should we do then?" Su Mu's heart clenched upon hearing this.

"I also have a secret technique called Angel's Baptism!" An Xin remained silent for a while before speaking softly, "But there may be some side effects after using it."

At this point, she looked at Su Mu with tender eyes and said, "Please don't dislike me then, okay?"

"How could I possibly dislike you?" Su Mu quickly shook his head. "I just want you to be safe and sound."

An Xin nodded upon hearing this. She then said nothing more, closed her eyes, and clasped her hands together in front of her chest. Immediately, the golden crescent moon between her brows emitted a dazzling golden light once more.

The next moment, a scene that shocked Su Mu appeared.

From the golden crescent moon emerged a small golden angel, about ten centimeters tall. Its golden wings radiated a holy light.

It flew to the top of An Xin's head, and a golden staff appeared out of thin air in its hand. It gently tapped the sky with the golden staff, and instantly, a golden ripple spread out.

As the golden ripples spread to a size of several meters, crystal-clear raindrops, as clear as jade, appeared out of thin air from the ripples and fell onto An Xin's body.

Each raindrop that fell on An Xin's body emitted a colorful light, making her look quite mystical.

Moreover, the skin washed by those raindrops became as white and tender as snow, just like the skin of a newborn baby, delicate and fragile.

Watching this scene, Su Mu suddenly had a thought: 'Could An Xin's intelligence revert to her childhood state?'

The moment this thought crossed his mind, and recalling An Xin's words from earlier, he became even more certain that this might be the case.

However, he did not show any worry. On the contrary, he was curious about what An Xin, with her childlike nature, would be like.

The raindrops continued to fall, the ripples of light slowly shrank, and the little golden angel gradually became transparent.

Just as the ripple of light was only a few dozen centimeters in size and was about to disappear, a weak scream suddenly came from An Xin's body, filled with resentment. It was the hidden dark aura.

A few moments later, after the ripples of light and the little golden angel disappeared, An Xin opened her eyes.

At this moment, her eyes were clear as water, as if she had never experienced the ways of the world.

Seeing this, Su Mu was even more certain of his guess; the spirit had indeed reverted to that of a child, even its eyes were different. Thinking of something, he quickly asked again...

"An Xin, has the dark aura within your body disappeared?"

"It's gone." An Xin nodded, her voice soft and sweet, like a child's. "Su Mu, I'm a little sleepy and want to go to sleep."

"Then let's go back to the car and get some rest," Su Mu replied.

"Hold me!" An Xin stretched out her hands, her eyes full of expectation.

Su Mu smiled slightly, reached out and picked her up horizontally, letting her lean against him, and then left.

An Xin wrapped her arms around Su Mu's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Su Mu looked down at her, his eyes filled with heartache.

After a few minutes

Su Mu took her back to Zhu Meng, who was still asleep. Su Mu called out to it several times before finally waking it up.

When Zhu Meng woke up, the entire car shook. It quieted down when it realized it was Su Mu. Then its voice rang in Su Mu's mind, "Master, you're finally back."

"I thought I'd never see you again."

"Alright, open the car door for me first," Su Mu said.

With a bang, the passenger door opened, and Su Mu carefully placed An Xin in the car, then adjusted the seat to make her more comfortable.

He got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away.

"Master, have you found that sequence artifact?" Zhu Meng couldn't help but ask.

"Found it, it's a bone," Su Mu said calmly. "Tell me what happened before, why An Xin suddenly turned evil."

"Here's what happened." Zhu Meng quickly recounted the events to Su Mu in detail, and then added, "Based on its aura, it should be the same Lord-level monster that you killed before."

"It seems we'll have to be more careful when eliminating those lords' schemes in the future," Su Mu nodded slightly, narrowing his eyes as he said, "to prevent this situation from happening again."

Although this was extremely dangerous, he and An Xin almost lost their lives.

But he also benefited from this misfortune, finally establishing a connection with the dragon spirit. Now, whenever he wants, he can command the dragon spirit to fight for him.

Of course, the consumption is also considerable.

Moreover, the greater the consumption, the stronger the dragon soul's attack power.

He thought of something, looked down at his protective armor, which had cracked in several places, and the two cloud-shaped shoulder ornaments were gone. He sighed softly, reached out and patted the six-pointed star on his chest, putting it away.

We can only repair it after we've refined one or two more Blue Radiance Star Gold.

dusk

Su Mu parked the car on the side of the road and glanced at An Xin, who was still fast asleep. After thinking for a moment, he woke her up, coaxed her to eat something, and then carried her to the trunk to continue resting.

At this moment, Su Mu was not in the mood to refine Blue Radiant Star Gold and planned to wait until An Xin had recovered somewhat before doing so.

He sat cross-legged there, took out the white bone, and intended to see what kind of sequence artifact it was.

As a few drops of his blood fell on it, a crimson light flashed across the white bone, but quickly disappeared.

At the same time, information about the skeleton appeared in his mind:

"The Bone Barrier, once activated, can form a small defensive barrier."

It can not only withstand natural wind and rain, but also resist a certain amount of enemy attacks.

Su Mu's eyes lit up. This was a good thing. With this, they would be safer when they rested.

At that moment, Zhu Meng's voice rang in his mind, "Master, can I eat this bone?"

"You can devour things too?" Su Mu was quite surprised.

"No," Zhu Meng replied decisively, "but I can assimilate it little by little, and I can convert its power into mine."

"Can you inherit its barrier power?" Su Mu asked immediately after hearing this.

If Zhu Meng can inherit the power of this barrier after it is devoured, that would be perfect, and it would save him a lot of trouble.
