The Psychic Sorcerer stooped down to pick up the halfling woman's skull and engram, and followed the path he had come from.

Along the way, the white bones turned to powder under his feet. The relics of the Teal Age, which were enough to make the antiquarian hunter maniac, were kicked aside by him without caring and allowed to be destroyed. Obstacles could not slow him down, leaving a lonely trail behind him.

Muhadi replied, once again standing in front of the downward passage, and below was the space-time gate, he said loudly into the air.

"I know you're still observing, Dean, your plane-gate hasn't been activated yet. ”

"If you had really passed through that gate of time, everything would have changed, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here and talk to you. ”

"Yes, Dean, that's your name, isn't it?" said Muhati in a confident tone. "You're wondering how I came up with your name?"

No answer came, and only his own echo could be heard in the silence around him.

Muhadi knew that if he flinched at this time, everything would be over. He continued to say in a confident voice, "And my current secrets are more than these, far more than ...... Do you want to know the truth about why you lost your loved one back then?"

Still no response.

This shouldn't be, the Psychic Warlock thought, whether it was from the fact that the other party did not hesitate to create a red tide to take revenge on the High Evolutionary, or from the fact that he became a ghost after his death, he should be a paranoid man, how could he not react to my teasing at all?

Looks like it's going to have to be a little fierce.

Muhadi held up the skull in his hand, "Guess whose bone it is?"

The Psychic Warlock said, "I have found her skeleton on the bed in a large room, in the living quarters over here. She also has statues of High Evolutionaries by her side...... Oh yes, she died from a knife. ”

"One more thing to tell you by the way," Muhadi continued. "You're not the first to try to travel back in time to save the world...... Someone once tried, and shamefully failed. ”

"Do you know who the last person to try to do this was? So, do you want to follow the old path of your rival and give away your ghost life senselessly, or do you want to use your half-human biotechnology to embrace your beloved again?"

He held the skull in his hand aloft, "You halflings have the ability to replicate the original with a little biological matter, don't you?" The psychic warlock was betting that the technology of these halflings was about the same as cloning technology on Earth, and if not, he would be finished.

"Along the way, I saw that many of the technical facilities in this ruin are still well preserved. Muhathir said. "Huge incubators, piled up higher than mountains. You've seen the creatures I've unleashed, so you know I'm right...... With those facilities, you can make a copy of her!"

Still no response.

"If you don't make a sound, then I'll have to destroy it. The Psychic waved the bone in his hand, pretending to show off his abilities. "Then pray that you will be as defeated as the High Evolutionary. ”

"You dare!"

"Then stand by and watch for a while, and you'll know if I dare or not. Muhati secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and of course he still put on an aggressive appearance on the surface.

"If you dare to do it, I guarantee you will die a miserable death. The halfling's voice threatened. He also described the many forms of torture in vivid detail, trying to make psychic warlocks fearful.

"Empty threats," Muhadi scoffed. "I noticed that you were the one who was hiding and didn't dare to come out, could it be that you were going to kill me with a tongue? ”

After speaking, he exerted force in his hand, and a crisp bone cracking sound came. A tooth detaches from the skull and falls to the ground.

An angry roar followed, followed by a lot of nonsense and curses that the psychic warlocks couldn't understand. Muhadi looked indifferent and watched how the ghost of the halfling reacted.

"I'm not going to be tricked by you into opening the door of the passageway, big man, no matter how provocative you are. At the end, the halfling seemed to be suppressing his anger.

"It scares me so much," Muhati nodded. "It's true that the person who just threatened to make me taste all kinds of torture. ”

Seeing that the ghost of the halfling still refused to open the passage, the Mindmancer changed his words and said, "Since you are so cowardly, then I will change my mind. ”

"Your lover, the wife of the High Evolutionary, left her last words before she died, 'They will never get mine. Muhadi said. "Because of your revenge, she had to be trapped here along with many other halflings. And due to the scarcity of supplies, these halflings split into countless small groups, attacking each other like beasts, robbing each other of resources and women. ”

"So, it can also be said that you single-handedly forced her to death. She had to commit suicide to avoid falling into the dirty hands of those thugs. ”

"If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself the contents of this crystal, this is what she left, whether it is forged or not, you can tell at a glance. Muhadi threw the crystal to the ground.

"As for me," said the Psychman, "since you coward who seeks to ruin my world will not come out, then I will take revenge on you by completing what the thugs have not done." ”

"I'm going to activate the technology on the upper part of this ruin myself, and make a copy of her. And then what I'll do to her, you can spend the rest of your life imagining. ”

The trap had been set, and Muhadi thought as he turned around and strode away, waiting for the ghost to take the bait.

He carefully controlled his pace, not walking too fast, but still getting farther and farther away from the passage. At this distance, even if the passage was opened, the Psychic Warlock would never be able to rush back before it closed again.

After a short walk, Muhadi moved further away from the passage. At this time, the ghost of the halfling finally took the bait.

On the other side, the vertical passage slowly opened, and the thick metal doors that had been closed slowly parted and received into the cave walls on both sides.

There is more than one door in this passage, and the second door is slowly opening when you look through the open metal door. Then there is the third and fourth way.

A giant machine man grabbed the handle on the cave wall and climbed up step by step, and as it climbed up, the iron doors behind it closed one after another. Although Muhadi has gone far, the halfling ghost is still very cautious, for fear of falling into some trap.

The giant mechanical man crawled out of the passageway, his huge hands carefully picking up the crystal from the ground and the tooth that had fallen out of his skull. It's hard to believe that the joints of this seemingly big and thick machine man are so flexible. It placed it in one of its palms, then crawled back into the passage with its remaining hand.

The first iron door opened, and the giant mechanical man climbed down for a while, waiting quietly. The door above its head closed completely before the second door opened at its feet.

In such a cautious way, the agency man went down to the control room where the space-time gate was located.

Muhati stopped pretending to be and turned back from the way up. By the time he returned to the passage, the door had already been closed.

"Ignorant big man!" came the halfling's voice of gritting teeth. "How much primordial matter do you think it takes to replicate a creature with the technology of our halfling civilization?"

"Even one particle is enough! So this tooth you inadvertently left behind is your failure!"

"You can do whatever you want, and whatever disgusting things you do will be completely erased when I revise history. And I will take this tooth with me, and I will resurrect her in a new history. ”

"You think you're threatening me, but you're the opposite. Just as I used you once in the outer ruins, now I'm using you a second time!"

The ghost of the halfling was exhausted, and he said no more.

In the control room, the ghost's translucent body is suspended in mid-air. The space-time gate was in the middle of the control room, and it was completing the final charging process.

The space-time gate is pitch black, but it is strangely like it is radiating light. Its doorframe resembles a pool of flowing black mercury, constantly emanating in various images, fleeting, inviting people to observe, but not seeing anything clearly.

This gate can be activated through the control platform not far away, and the ghost has already commanded it to activate the charge with a voice, as long as the charge is complete, it can enter the destination coordinates and leave.

With no physical body, the halfling ghost drifted next to an ordinary mechanical figure and ordered it to take the dead man's teeth and memory crystals from the big iron guy. The agency man did as he was told, obediently took the two things, and then placed them on a table designated by the halfling ghost.

Similarly, due to the lack of a body, the ghost cannot directly read the memories left within the crystal, and he must use a mechanical device to decipher them.

The machine man carefully placed the crystal in a groove of the exact same shape on the control platform, and a slight buzzing sound sounded, and the image of the lifelike halfling woman was projected into the air.

The secret that has been sealed in the dust for thousands of years is told through a bland mechanical synthesized sound, telling about the regret of missing out, the irreparable misunderstanding, and the true love that ended before it began. A projection of a ghost, just like that, in a dead city where no one is around, exchange their hearts.

The ghost's translucent body rippled with a faint blue ripple, which seemed to represent his emotional fluctuations. Even without any mind-reading techniques, anyone could see his shock and remorse.

The sound of the machine is unwavering, but its listeners seem to be fascinated and crazy.

When he heard the truth about his lover leaving him, the ripples on his body were bright to the limit. “...... I see......" He muttered incoherently, with madness in his tone. “...... So I ......"

The ghost seemed to have lost his attention to reality, and even when a chime announced that the portal was almost fully charged, it didn't appeal to him.

“...... I should ......" he said frantically, but he couldn't spit out a complete sentence, only a few clear phrases. “...... Yes, yes, that's it, right now!"

Now is the time. The Psychic Warlock finally waited for the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Standing outside the passage, Muhadi silently gave an order in his heart, and an astonishing change immediately occurred in the control room hundreds of feet below him.

The halfling teeth placed on the table exploded, and the surging energy waves burst out from one point, instantly sweeping the entire control platform. The ghost of the ancient halfling was still immersed in the shock of learning the truth, and before he could react, the illusion in front of his eyes flashed and disappeared.

The explosion engulfed the engrams, destroying the running machinery and the mechanic standing nearby.

The ghost watched the image of his beloved disappear and let out a roar like that of a dying beast.

"Open the channel. The voice of the halfling ghost gave a calm order.

"Cancel the order!Close the passage!" the ghost roared angrily when he heard a voice imitating itself giving orders.

"Destroy the brakes and turn on the fire switch. The mimicked voice gave another order to the giant machine. The latter scrupulously followed the instructions and destroyed a device in the control room.

From the High Evolutionary, Muhadi learned that the ruins had a lot of self-touching mechanisms. For example, in the event of a plague leak or a biological weapon escapes, the ruins will automatically close the accident area for radiation irradiation and disinfection. If a fire breaks out, the locked passage will be automatically opened to facilitate the escape of the trapped personnel. At least, that's roughly the case with the parts that aren't damaged.

The explosion just now was enough to fool the automata in the ruins, and the giant mechanic destroyed the braking mechanism, and now the passage is no longer closed. The ghost could only watch as the metal doors opened one after another.

"If you're curious how I managed to do this. Muhadi's voice came from his teeth, which had now been deformed and restored to their original shape as crystals—the spirit crystals of the Psychic Warlock. "I don't hesitate to explain. ”

"You're underestimating me so much, and if I still have human emotions, I'll be outraged by it. The Spirit Scarlet continued to speak the voice of the Psychic Warlock. "Are you going to make such an obvious mistake when you want you to pick up the crystals and teeth and shut me out?"

"When I showed this skull, I came up with this plan to trick you into opening the passage yourself. In the ghost's mind, Muhadi's voice was as piercing as a knife.

"I knocked out the teeth from my skull, and then put them back in place with the shape of my spirit crystal to form a tooth. I may have been consumed by the endless stream of machine people, but after resting, a state of deformation, do you think it will be difficult to stop me?"

"You are very cautious, and I know that even if you are thoroughly provoked by me, you will not lose your mind and open the passage before I leave. So, I deliberately hit the skull and pretended to have lost a tooth by accident...... When I went far and couldn't come back, you really couldn't resist this temptation and fell into my trap. ”

"I know you'll be tempted to see what your loved ones have left behind in the last days of their lives...... You're going to read the crystal first. You're so eager for it, you're burned with your own feelings, and you don't even have a good look at that tooth. ”

"And I, just the last bit of aura left, is only enough to show the simplest of abilities - manipulating voices. As a ghost, you can only give orders with your voice, do you think I can't see such a big weakness of yours?"

"When you read the engram - I know you're going to read it. When you're shocked by the story inside the crystal - I know you will, too. From the bottom of my heart, I ordered my spirit crystal servant to show this simplest ability on my behalf, and turn the tables in one fell swoop. ”

The Psychic Warlock crawled down the handle of the inner wall of the passage, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the spirit crystal servant obediently flew into his palm and levitated.

"There are no low-level abilities in the world, only low-level psimancers. Muhati stepped forward and said. "Savor failure. ”

"Never!" the ghost of the halfling was only now reaping from the double blow. "Kill him!" he ordered the giant machiner, "Kill him!Kill him!!"

"Give up," Muhadi replied verbally as he dodged the giant machine's attack. "I've blown it up, and you can't enter the target time for the space-time gate. ”

The ghost refused, and continued to hiss, ordering the giant mechanics to attack, attack, and attack. The Psychic Mancer sighed and let go to fight back.

Muhadi had just cast a shapeshifting ability, an explosion, and a sound manipulation ability, and had once again drained his aura. But he wasn't afraid of the giant machine, he wasn't afraid of it, and at least he had an obsidian dagger in his hand at the moment.

The giant machine man slammed his fist to the ground, and Muhadi dodged to the side, stabbing his dagger into its joints. Unlike golems, the joints of the Trap have many gears and hinges.

Every punch of the huge machine man is amazingly powerful, but it always fails to hit the enemy, and the effort is in vain.

"As I said a while ago, you can't kill me. Muhathir said. "Do you think this mechanic can hurt me? ”

"Now that I've destroyed the space-time gate's control system, even if I can't defeat this iron guy, I can retreat safely, and you can't do anything at all. ”

"Easy to predict?" came the furious voice of the halfling ghost. "Try to anticipate this!"

The ghost gave another order to the Mechanic, who gave up the pursuit of the Psychic Warlock who had retreated to the wall, and smashed a machine that had been making strange noises with a single punch.

The explosion was more violent than the explosion of the spirit crystal just now, and the fierce flames filled this small control room almost instantly, and the tongue of fire licked and licked the qiē he encountered, and burned out a qiē. Muhadi was caught off guard, his eyebrows were burned by the flames, the skin on his body was burned in many places, and even his robe was on fire.

The explosion also caused all kinds of debris to fly, and if the flesh and blood were hit by these sputters, I am afraid that they would not survive. An unbeaten fragment slashed across Muhadi's arm, cutting deep blood.

The ghost's virtual body is not affected, and the giant mechanical man's armor is hard, but it can still continue to function. It threw its giant fist, shattering another device.

This time, the serial explosion was even more violent than just now. Somehow, the ghost's voice overpowered the loud explosion and reached the telemancer's ears: "You ruined me...... Then I'm going to take you to the funeral!"

"Prepare to be another ghost in the dead city!"

In the blast, Muhadi couldn't even open his eyes. What to do, he thought, where to hide?

Then he leaped into it.

The portal remained open, but with the destruction of the control system, it was uncertain where it would lead.

Muhadi jumped into the portal, hoping that the opposite side of the door would be safer than this one.
