Chapter 36: The Magic Eye
"President, my doppelganger died not long ago, I'm worried that there will be something wrong with the headquarters, and I need to return to the headquarters for reinforcements?"
The lanky figure said respectfully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"No need, Christina's strength is still above you, with her, the headquarters is foolproof."
Sinclair has a lot of faith in Christina, it's his masterpiece, his most trusted right hand.
The nascent Christina is the perfect killing machine, not to mention the MONOCULUS of that level, as long as it's not an enemy with a huge size, then it's definitely not her match.
Sinclair named Christina's MONOCULUS "Mandala".
This particular Eye is different from the ordinary Eye in that it is not a type of psychic influence, but a special type that can easily affect real matter. The effect of the MONOCULUS is like a powerful telekinesis, but it cannot move objects, and can only be restrained, oppressed, or twisted. There is no need to look at the enemy, as long as you capture any part of the enemy's body with your eyes, you can make the enemy immobilized, and no matter how strong your will is, you can't resist this immobilization effect, only a strong physical force can break free. And according to Christina's wishes, the MONOCULUS can adjust the applied force to suit various situations.
As long as the "mandala" is in sight, the "mandala" can take effect, which means that even if Christina sees enemies through a mirror or telescope, they will be affected by the Eye. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of the "Mandala" is that it only works when the eye actually sees the enemy, and the effect of the MONOCULUS is interrupted if the eye blinks or the vision is blocked.
However, with Christina's inhuman body now, she can keep her eyes open all day without blinking if she wants to. Hinclair vividly remembered how Christina used her magic eye to freeze everyone in place at the Steel Conference, and the scene was like a still painting, and the entire hall could not move, only to watch them be taken away one by one for the transformation ritual.
As soon as Sinclair and his entourage walked out of the basement, they saw a man appear in the hall, who was shrouded in a wide black cloak, and it was impossible to see who it was.
"I'm very sorry to have a night of rest here without the owner's permission."
The man lifted his hood, revealing a face that was too pale, with red tattoos on his bare head.
"My name is Nehmaiah, I don't know what this pastor is called? Who is the great being you serve? Maybe we can share our experiences. ”
Nehemiah was smiling, but Sinclair didn't feel any kindness, and it seemed that he might as well worry about his side rather than worry about the situation at headquarters.
The Brotherhood of Steel's underground workshop.
Vanessa barely dodged one of Christina's claws, and it could be seen that Christina was not serious at all, teasing Vanessa like a cat and mouse.
"I really miss it, I was in charge of training when you were young, and you were so obedient at that time, why did you become so rebellious when you grew up?"
Christina waved her hand casually, and the invisible bladed claws stretched out, obviously the steel claws did not even touch the corners of Vanessa's clothes, but Vanessa's body was attacked, and her left arm was cut in two places, leaving two blood marks.
"Damn, it's similar to the psionic energy 'Range Extension' I mastered, the attack range has been expanded, and it's an invisible attack, I've never heard of such an ability."
Vanessa knew that Christina was releasing water, perhaps because of her past friendship, and she suddenly had a good idea.
"It's not fair!"
Vanessa suddenly sat on the ground coquettishly, playing a scoundrel.
"I don't even have a weapon, what kind of battle is this?"
Strangely, Christina, as if stuck in a memory of the past, actually agreed.
"That's right, why don't you go and get ready first, and then we'll move on."
Hearing this, Vanessa, the initiator, couldn't help but be stunned, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.
"Oh, that's fine, you wait for me."
Vanessa hurriedly retreated, ready to look for weapons, because there was no arsenal on this level, so she had to go back to the upper floor.
"Simon, don't let anything happen to you, I can only count on you now."
Vanessa muttered to Simon and quickly left.
Christina watched Vanessa leave, thinking to herself.
Vanessa, don't come back, what am I going to do if you continue to be an enemy of President Hinclave? I love Sincley and I love Vanessa, which of the two is more important? What would I do if it was in the past?
Like the dark machinery around her, Christina also began to eat, the difference is that she chews on her past self, repeatedly absorbing the memories of the past, for her now, emotions such as love are too vague, and it is difficult for her to compare the weight of love.
For machines, love is an eternal mystery.
"Simon, Simon! Where are you? ”
Simon lay on his back on the ground, the body of the rain demon beside him had turned to ashes, leaving only a pitch-black silhouette.
"I'm here!"
Simon was much better now, but his body was still like a fight, he didn't move, he just opened his mouth and shouted.
Vanessa followed the sound and saw Simon lying on the ground.
"You...... Win? What about Uncle Tom? ”
Vanessa looked around strangely.
"Well, he's dead, and he didn't even have a body left."
"How is that possible?"
"I'm telling the truth, No, the black puddle next to it is what he left behind."
"A beach? It's the first time I've heard someone describe traces like that. ”
Vanessa looked at what seemed to be the ashes of the firewood and asked uncertainly.
"You burned him to death?"
"Of course not, and I don't know why he became like this when he died, but you have to be mentally prepared that the Brotherhood members you meet in the future may not be human, they have become monsters. Whatever happened in the past, remember that the Brotherhood members who will stand before you in the future will not be human, if they may be human. ”
Simon said in a deep tone.
"I don't need you to remind me, how are you doing, are you seriously injured?"
Vanessa gently poked Simon twice on her toes.
"I can't die, it's nothing to say that the physical injury is nothing, the main thing is that the mental injury is a bit big, I still feel tingling all over my body, I know it's a hallucination, but I still can't get rid of it completely. I'm afraid I'll have to get a good night's sleep to fully recover, so I want to go back to bed. ”
"Don't play dead, get up!"
Vanessa shook Simon's body so hard that Simon felt like he was really going to fall apart.
"Stop, I'll get up by myself, don't touch me!"
Simon slowly propped himself up and sat up.
"Let me take a break, it was a fierce battle just now."
However, after the battle just now, Simon discovered a flaw in the Heavenly Fire Holy Sword, that is, the lack of attack power. Perhaps because of the fact that he absorbed all the white flames, Tianhuo could only attack with a sharp blade in the shuttle state, lacking the penetration power of heavy armor protection. And the invincible lightsaber can only be used in the state of the long sword, and it would be nice if it could also excite light energy in the shuttle state, probably because the heavenly fire is in a broken state and has not been completely restored.
Simon's mind moved, and the Heavenly Fire Sword turned into a shuttle and walked beside him.
You've worked hard too, please hold on a little longer.
Simon stood up, feeling a little less painful in his body, perhaps moving his body well.
"Is there no one down there? Why are you back again? ”
Simon asked casually.
"Of course not, there's only one person guarding down there, it's Christina. It's a disgusting factory now, producing something called a steel corpse, but I don't know what it is, I've heard it's a soldier. ”
"Embedded steel corpses? Soldier? So, Christina too? ”
"Yes."
Vanessa was silent for a moment before answering.
"And she let you leave like that? It's a little strange, does she still have feelings for you? ”
"Well, it seems to be. Whether it's Uncle Tom or Christina, everyone seems to have changed, but they think in a very different way, and if it was in the past, they would never have done this. ”
"Interesting, it looks like we'll have to find President Hinclair to figure everything out."
"That's right, so what do we do now?"
"Since Christina can communicate, we might as well try again."
"But she's strong now."
Vanessa describes Christina's attack to Simon.
"Invisible additional attacks? If I attack from a distance with Skyfire, I should have a chance of winning. And we are going to communicate and talk to her, and if we see that the situation is not good, we will retreat. ”
"Okay, but before I go down, I'm going to get a bow, it's not a safe place anymore."
Vanessa said with a little sadness, and then went to the nearby arsenal to get the equipment.
Simon stood still, feeling more and more incredible about the change in the Brotherhood of Steel.
"Vanessa, do you really know about the Brotherhood of Steel? The water here doesn't look shallow. ”
After Vanessa was ready, the two of them returned to the next floor.
"This is really blasphemous, in the past, it was people who processed steel, but now it is the turn of steel processors?"
Seeing the scene inside, Simon couldn't help but sigh.
"Right there, the veiled woman is her."
Vanessa pointed at one of the platforms inside.
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient to have such huge claws?"
Simon said suddenly.
"What's inconvenient?"
"You think, although the fight is very strong, but how to eat, and how to take a bath or something......"
"What's going on in your head?"
Vanessa was speechless and felt a little headache.
"Anyway, let's say hello first."
Simon gave the command intently, and the heavenly fire flew through like a meteor, and the sharp blade stopped beside Christina's slender neck.
"We don't want to fight, so can we ask you to surrender? We want to talk to you. ”
Simon said in a sincere tone.
Christina chuckled, like a wind chime, and the expression under the veil was unknown.
"Okay, I surrender."
