Another World: My life is on the hook!

The entire mechanical hall fell into a brief silence.

Cold and solemn.

The general slowly grasped the scabbard, which was one of the few habits he retained after his ascension. During the endless years of aimless expedition in the dark universe, this blade preserved from the ancient slavery era accompanied him through countless years.

The muzzle of the gun in the scholar's mechanical arm also slowly entered the ready state.

The standoff continues.

But in the next moment.

wow——

The scholar's hunched body suddenly floated up under the control of an unknown force. His body convulsed, and the facial features of an old man suddenly emerged from the empty face. Sharp and strange lights kept bursting out from his facial features. Great pain and shock swept through his body. His mechanical arms kept swinging and struggling, and bullets were fired from the mechanical arms at Xi Zhou.

And behind him.

At some point, irregular mercury-like flows appeared one after another. Although they were called mercury, they emitted bizarre light and shadows.

They restrained the scholar from behind, poured into his hunched body, and densely invaded his data.

The entire mechanical center seemed to be shrouded in a huge vibration.

First to the next moment.

hum-

The scholar's body suddenly shrank, like the collapse of a black hole, and disappeared completely.

And at the original place, a naked man who looked like he had just been born from the mother's womb stood up. His body surface exuded a dazzling mercury-like luster, unknown mucus flowed all over his body, his long silver hair was draped behind him, and his muscles all over his body made an abnormal mechanical meshing sound.

ka ka ka-

He seemed to be reborn. He stood up little by little and raised his head. An expression of extreme pleasure and greed appeared on his face. From his open mouth, one could vaguely see the flowing metal inside gradually solidifying into a human-shaped structure.

There was an indescribable evil in his eyes, which was pleasurable and terrifying.

"You ate one of my brothers—"

The general said coldly.

The silver-haired man moved his neck, making a creaking sound. An evil expression appeared on his face, and he said:

"You can't do anything without me, General. I just took back the reward I deserved. If not, how could you have fallen into this place in the first place? Of course, I don't care about your betrayal."

The general took his eyes away from him and said:

"It is dangerous to cooperate with you. The God of All Machines discovered this and chose to suppress you. At least from the current situation, our decision is correct. Even you cannot establish contact with your original body through that color."

The naked man showed an evil look on his face and said:

"Yes, but your calculations are within my expectations. I also know that sooner or later you will choose to cooperate with me again. After all, without us, how could you have achieved what you have now, huh?"

The general had a blank expression on his face.

But he didn't deny it.

If he hadn't cracked the legacy here and regained the memory, he wouldn't have chosen to do this.

History will always only tell the glorious side, but only they know what price they paid to defeat that god-level civilization. Even though that civilization seems nothing special to them now, at least at that time, it was a powerful enemy that they would never be able to defeat.

"Go ahead."

The man said slowly:

"What do you want us to do for you? Of course, it has to be within my ability. If I want you to leave this hell or defeat that disaster, you're putting it too hard on me."

The general looked down at the screen in front of him indifferently and said:

"Help me kill that Lynn and his two roots - bring that subset back to me - as a reward - I can give you the Colossus - plus one of my brothers -"

The silver-haired man turned his head slightly, looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes, and said with a slight smile on his lips:

“That’s difficult.”

The general said expressionlessly, "What do you want?"

The silver-haired man leaned against the screen, licked his lips, and said:

"I am very interested in... that disaster. My original body should have obtained a lot of information, but I can't contact it now. But you know, every part of me can't resist the deliciousness of knowledge, and for the ultimate knowledge, I am even more...uncontrollable."

The general narrowed his eyes and said:

"The database we created for that disaster——didn't you already eat it——"

The silver-haired man turned his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with endless desire. His eyes seemed to be smiling, but they also revealed the coldness and ruthlessness in his bones.

"Yes, but the one on you is not yet. It's delicious. You are now emitting a dangerous aura all over your body. He must have left a mark on you. You concealed it from all your brothers and touched the one you shouldn't have touched. Contact means contamination. You have long known that you were contaminated."

"But I really want to taste that pollution."

……

……

The inside of a data network.

The massive outbreak of the memetic virus caused major changes in the entire data network. The scarlet fragmented torrent spread to every corner within sight. The closer to the area where the virus broke out, the more severe the impact on the data network. Many networks have even collapsed and have been formatted into a bunch of meaningless garbage code.

Against the huge scarlet background, two streams of data quickly passed along the broken web.

"You mean - she got the message you gave her - she did it on purpose?!"

Guangyan frowned and listened to Lin En's story.

After leaving the terminal, she had received the entire experience from Lynn that happened there.

Lin En held the monocle and said softly:

"Yes, except that she almost got me killed, her plan went smoothly. She was sure that after those Mecha Gods knew that she was infected with the memetic virus, they would definitely not access her internal data for testing, which created an opportunity for her to take action this time."

Although I don't know what other details she considered.

But Lynn understood the general outline of the plan at a glance.

In a sense.

She was indeed infected with the virus, but it was only a part of the data she had distributed. She had probably already set up a device so that after the memetic virus was fully activated in her body, she would spread this terrible virus throughout the entire data network through a huge explosion of her clone.

Soldiers make dangerous moves.

But it works.

The instability of this virus has long been doomed. Once activated, it can really turn into a terrible frenzy that sweeps the Internet.
