Chapter 48: Signs
on a barren plain.
I rode a skeleton horse in my refuge robes and ran wildly across the plains.
This time I didn't have a skeleton with me, only the skeleton horse and the skull, and I was going to go out for a walk.
I pulled out a map from my storage ring, and I expected to be able to ride another day on a skeleton horse to a city I hadn't been to before.
I took the skull from under the skeleton horse's belly, grabbed it in my palm, and the skeleton horse continued to run.
"Do you remember who you are?" I sent a sensing signal to it.
"I don't know, I don't know anything" it sent a perceptual signal to me.
"Have you ever thought about who you are?".
"Forgot".
"Have you forgotten who you are?".
"No, I'm forgetting what I'm thinking for."
"It's distressing to have no memory!".
"Don't be upset, it makes me never think of something unhappy."
"But you're being imprisoned by me now, won't that keep you in a time of unhappiness forever?"
"Because of this, it's good to have no memory, and when I am free one day, I will not think about this period of captivity."
"But when do you think you'll be free, and even if you're free, how can you take revenge if you don't have a memory?"
"I'm lucky to be free."
"You're right".
His words reminded me of myself, what happened to the man who attacked me when I was alive? He can be said to be his enemy, but what can he do? Can he take revenge? I guess by the day I can find him, he will be old and dead.
"I think you're like a very smart child," I sent a perceptual signal to it.
"I don't think I'm a child."
"I'm not talking about your age, I'm talking about your mind that isn't tainted by memory."
"Will memories taint me?".
"It depends on what kind of memory it is, looking at the way you are now, I guess this memory is not too good."
"And how do you remember?".
"Not good".
"If it's not good, then why do you still remember?".
"I'm defiled, and I can't wash it."
The skeleton horse had been running with my skull for a day, and was finally about to reach its destination.
It's just a little strange, judging from the surrounding references and the records of the "World Encyclopedia", that city is not far from me, and my perception range can perceive it.
It's just that I can't feel a breath of death right now.
I rode slowly on the skeleton horse, and it was at this moment that a wave of life appeared in my perceptual range.
"So there's already a hunter coming!".
I could only sigh at this, although the skeleton could not breathe.
I turned my head, and before I knew it, I stumbled upon a larger pothole.
I jumped off the skeleton horse and ran over there, taking a closer look.
It's like a huge footprint, and it weighs about 1,900 tons based on the geological characteristics of the place and the height of the pit.
Suddenly, I remembered the last drawing I left in my office, the last work I made before I died.
Alloy Giant!
They actually made it!
I started to back away and didn't stop until the bone leg touched the skeleton horse. I felt a tremendous pressure, and it would not be long before the Alloy Giant would find my castle.
Should I flee or attack? It's easy to flee, but the city I've been building for seventeen years might be destroyed. I don't have enough time to build an Alloy Giant.
Elemental weapons can't blow up the Alloy Giant, maybe I should find the Alloy Giant's weakness, after all, this is what I came up with.
But it's really hard to find weaknesses! When I was alive, I took into account the weaknesses of the alloy giants, and after finding them, I deliberately improved them. Now let me find another weakness that the Alloy Giant can exploit, it's a bit harder.
I rode away on the skeleton horse, I can't stay here, I don't know if any skeletons will find me, I need to get back to my city quickly, maybe my city will be attacked by the alloy giant in my absence.
I let the skeleton horses run as fast as they could, and it was expected to take me half a day to reach my castle.
But I didn't take the skull with me, didn't it want to be free? I threw it in the grass.
When it arrives at Skeletron one day, it will be able to control nearby skeletons and install a "body" on it, provided it can evade Hunters or passing skeletons before becoming Skeletron.
Somewhere on the plain at this time, the alloy giant stood on top of it.
The characteristic glass cover of the giant's head is open, and a man with a scar on his face sits on the giant's head, holding a baguette to nibble on.
Su Ruoyin looked at everything in front of him, there was a mountain, a small town, and a large piece of farmland in the distance.
These will be occupied by the unions, who will destroy the original buildings and build cities, factories.
All of this will eventually become history, and their civilization will not evolve again.
The Alloy Giant is operated by a thermal reactor that is heated by a nuclear fission reaction of an element that has not yet been named, and the heat energy produced is converted into energy to start the machine.
Due to the complex wiring of the machine inside the alloy giant, it needs more than one person to operate it to barely control. In addition to Su Ruoyin, there are also five Alloy Giant's drivers inside the giant.
Of the five people, two were high-level hunters, and the remaining three were people from the union Mingyue Hall. After all, controlling the Alloy Giant is a technical job.
Su Ruoyin took the last bite of bread and took the water bag from the belt around her waist to drink.
"Su Ruoyin, it's time for you to come down," a man dressed in white shouted to him, he was from Mingyue Hall, and there was no need to call Su Ruoyin the leader. Leader is what the hunters under him call him.
"Hmm".
Su Ruoyin put down the water bag, slipped off the giant's head smoothly, and jumped into the giant's head.
"Is it time to go?" asked the man in white.
"Don't worry" Su Ruoyin sat in the driver's seat, leaning her hand on the back of her neck, "If you go now, it will be dark when you get there."
"Okay," the man in white sighed and sat down in the chair behind him.
I rode my skeleton horse and galloped fast, and now it was starting to get dark, and I was almost to my city, and I felt my city.
Two minutes have passed.
I ran back to my city, and the gates of the city were always open.
My skeletons, a bunch of them are now building a house, a house made of gold.
I didn't let them stop, even if they were going to be destroyed the next day, then I wanted to see my ideas come true.
I jumped off the skeleton horse and sent a command to it at the same time.
The skeleton pony then began to leave, eventually running out of the city.
