Chapter XXVII

The lonely first quarter moon is always hidden behind the storm. The manic dust still kept pounding on the bodies of the two foreign travelers.

In front of their eyes, the posture of the gear man who was heading for the end of the road was no longer humanoid, but could only be said to be an upright spider beast. The graceful seeker of knowledge was dead, and now there was only a terrible mouth left in his abdomen, and he repeated the roar:

"You've me off."

Step by step, it approached the two of them.

The distraught young man was silent to a terrible state at this time, he didn't say a word, only a pair of black eyes sharpened by the wind and sand stared at the mirror tube man motionlessly, as if he had completely forgotten what had happened to Ziyuan just now.

This state made Hatsuyun feel that he was angry to the extreme. But what is it to be angry, she can't figure it out, maybe it's both.

The barrel shakes slightly over the barrel person's head, locking their bearing. Although it was angry, it knew that the two people in front of it were not powerless.

Gu Chuan let out a breath softly, so as to relieve the pain of the long-distance run just now. And his abdomen, the feverish organs that did not belong to him, seemed to be constantly gushing warm currents, soaking into his limbs until a puff of smoke came out of his hands and dispersed into the heavens and the earth.

The dragon's horn was clenched in his hand, like a weapon held by an assassin, shining with a grim light.

Hatsuyun stood beside him, leaning slightly forward. Hatsumo knew that although she felt a threat from the barrel of the mirror, she would never die, and the only problem was that she had no spare strength to protect others.

This is something she lacks in both experience and ability.

Her eyes were also all on the lens man, and while the lens man was talking, she saw that behind the lens man, there were other gear people coming.

"Who's that?"

The large swath of bare mechanical organs on the lens barrel man's body rotated violently along with the dense gear structure inside. At that time, he seemed to sense the existence of the gear man behind him through other methods, and there was a big smile in front of him.

"Haha, don't you realize this? We are united, incomparably united. My companions are coming, and I will judge you with me. ”

Hearing this, Gu Chuan took a step back. With the displacement of the legs and feet, the sparsely accumulated sand particles at the edge were swept out of the position of the city wall, into the air, towards the ground, and disappeared into the vast sea of sand.

There are no more than two means of the lens barrel man.

One is to rely on the brute force of one's own machinery to fight, and the other is the lens barrel that can emit light. The former they are not afraid, and the latter are to find the moment when the lens barrel person is stiff.

In the last battle, the response of the lens barrel man undoubtedly proved that the moment the lens barrel glowed, he was indeed in the blind spot and stiffness of his vision.

He already had a blueprint in his mind, and the question was what the other cogs would do. Gu Chuan used the corner of his eye to look at the gear man behind the lens man.

It was one of the few gear men he was familiar with.

Lion's Head Gear Man: Zaiyi.

What he will do, and whether he will be like the Lens Man, with an anomalous strange object installed on his body, is unpredictable.

And the Mirror Man has come to his most comfortable distance.

"Do you feel like you've reached a dead end? Don't be afraid, strangers, the horrors you will face are only the beginning. ”

It knew that it didn't need to guard against its blind spot when it had a companion behind it, so the machinery in its whole body was activated with all its might, like the multi-legged and multi-handed hands of a worm waving in the air.

Gu Chuan and Chu Yun remained silent and did not make any reply to his words. It makes it boring, and even more insulting contempt. None of the cogwheel people under its rule dared to do this to it, and all the cogwheel people would answer it. It had thought it would see more interesting expressions, like the alien race it had seen that had been designated extinct by Problem Group 12. In the midst of that sea of fire, the horror and horror of the group of aliens who looked like the two people in front of them was a joy that it often recalls today.

"Positioning us."

Hatsukumo reminded in a quick whisper in Sunset City's language.

"I know ......"

Gu Chuan took a breath, his eyes fixed on the movement of the dozen or so lenses. As the lenses gradually converge in the same direction, the lens barrel will be, and is already ...... Again, the shattered light radiated to the people in front of him.

The moment the light came out, the two of them retreated together, and at the same time that the lens tube man reached the blind spot, he retreated straight beyond the cliff, causing his body to suddenly lose weight and fly downward. Then they grasped the edge of the wall with both hands, then let go, and when they locked on the position of the parts they were leaning on, they swung on their sides like geckos between the rugged walls.

This state cannot last, and it is impossible for them to go straight down while ignoring the movements of the lens man, which will only become the target of the lens man.

Two people climb on the edge of the city wall, in continuous motion.

Sure enough, the terrible strange thing never let go, first shooting straight at the ground of the wind and clouds, stirring up dust and sand, and then swept straight over, forcing a smoking gap in the wall of the cave entrance. At this time, Jing Yujiu had already regained his vision and saw that the two strangers were not there. The cruel beast knew they were climbing the walls.

It let out a scornful laugh.

"But you know what? Now there is no lapis in the way, and for me, all this space is blank......"

With laughter, the light blasted through the walls without reservation, across the inner body of the building, evaporating countless gears and machinery, and then straight through the dust wall, leaving a deep hole in the fiercest storm of nature.

The Lion-headed Cogwheel Man approached. Without looking back, the mirror barrel commanded:

"Zaiyi, help me lock their location, I'm going to snipe them one by one."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked in another direction that his senses thought was possible. As a result, the substance caused by the unknown metal suddenly dissipated like snow and mist, and there was no trace. After a few moments, the afterglow of the rays shone inside and out.

As for the boundless storm, it also oscillated unexpectedly, thus blowing in different directions.

The reverberations of terror echoed like the overlapping echoes of the valleys.

But Zai Yan didn't give the lens man any answer, just quietly placed it on the lens man's shoulder with his hand that had another mechanical hand attached.

On the shoulders of the Tube Man, the microflora is growing unscrupulously. But the Lens Man was undaunted, and it had already applied oil to its hands to restrain the flora. Rather impatiently, it stopped firing, and its head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, looking at Zai.

"I'm dealing with the hazards in the city, what are you doing? Loaded. Or do you really think of them as good friends and don't want me to do that? Don't forget......" he chuckled softly and said, "I'm in the same sequence as Kyokai. He's zero, and I'm nine. The remaining eight have already dismantled themselves. ”

Jae-yi didn't seem to understand Kyung-kyu's hints.

The lion-headed cogwheel man said respectfully:

"That's not the case, Nine. Lord Kyokai said that he didn't hate what you did, on the contrary, he readily agreed. ”

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, I need your strength."

It said coldly.

At that time, the two of them, who were waiting for Jing Yu Jiu to shoot through the wall, saw no results for a long time, and carefully poked their heads out of the edge of the cave.

They heard the voice of the Lion-headed Cogwheel Man in a calm and terrifying tone, and made the new Cogwheel Society's verdict against Kyokaku.

"But Jing Yu said at the same time, you did it too ugly, nine."

Kyung-kyu instinctively made a defensive stance.

But at that time, it was too late, and the other hand of the lion-headed gear man pierced the abdomen of the lens barrel man, and the lens barrel man who had no time to react could only stiffen his whole body, and then a certain part of the body made a sharp sound of shattering. So he couldn't speak anymore.

It looked incredulously at Zai's still-calm face, and even saw a few whiskers on the lion's head fluttering gently in the wind. Its barrel head struggled to turn, perhaps to strike a blow at Zaiyi, but soon its neck stopped moving and remained fixed in place, leaving the lens as a strange object to shine on its own.

And the machinery and gears all over its body were shaking, as if it was still struggling, and the largest iron needle that popped out of his body was almost hitting Zai's head.

But Zaiyi didn't speak, only flicked the iron needle away in silence. Then, he took a few steps back and waited quietly for the onset of sleeping bacteria.

The external robot is also coated with a substance that causes a chain of volatile reactions with the anti-lens coating applied to the lens barrel man.

This extremely ferocious beast fell heavily to the ground under the circumstances that Gu Chuan and Chu Yun did not expect, and the parts on its body made a sound that was no longer beautiful.

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

The sudden change made the young men and women even more confused by the behavior of the gear man, until they heard a sentence from Zaiyan:

"Come on, it's okay now. Or are you going to be buried in the sand again? This time the scale of the dust wall is much larger. ”

Two men climbed up from the edge of the wall. Chu Yun supported Gu Chuan's body and led him slowly behind the lion-headed gear man. The Lion-Head Gear Man drags the corpse of Kyung Kyung Koo with an external manipulator. Gu Chuan asked:

"You killed the Mentor?"

The lion-headed gear man paused, and then replied in a low voice:

"Maybe."

"What do you mean he's doing too badly?"

"In the square, all of our compatriots, who have been beaten as mentally ill, have a pact not to wreak havoc on the city. This city is our home, and even if something happens, we must remain intact! ”

"Right...... ...... to the

Gu Chuan responded in a daze.

"However, Kyo Jiu, Jiu violated this agreement, he did not do well, he destroyed a lot of places, and he was to be ...... Punish. ”

Along the way, there is nothing but destruction and sparks caused by that chase.

Evaporating material and crumbling mechanisms paved the ground.

"I see......"

Hearing this, Gu Chuan exhaled a long breath, he couldn't support it anymore, leaned on Chu Yun, smelled the fragrance between the hairs, closed his eyes tiredly, and only let his numb legs continue to walk.

Chu Yun keenly captured a key message:

"Punishment, it turns out, has there ever been an answer in the city?"

"No...... No, there are, but very few. ”

Zaiyi stood still. Chu Yun walked past him with Gu Chuan. His dark eyes looked at the two men who walked towards him more hesitantly than he did, for a moment. He said:

"Being beaten as a mentally ill person is the biggest punishment."

"What's the difference with the average Gear Man?"

Chu Yun, who was walking in front, continued to ask.

"They will be deprived of their right to trust, and what they say will not be considered credible. All their actions will be suspected. When they come to the end of their lives, they dismantle immediately. ”

Hearing this, Gu Chuan trembled in the fog, and his steps changed.

"That's good."

Hatsuyun preached without taking it to heart. Most things, she thinks are good.

"And now?"

"Jing Yu said, nine, need a long sleep."

Zai replied with difficulty.

Chu Yun didn't reply, and the matter of the gear man had little to do with her. All she was thinking about now was the ghost ship, and the fact that Ziyuan had escaped alone on the ghost ship, which made her a little strangely irritable.

Zaiyun, who was following behind Chu Yun, was silent for a moment, and asked:

"Excuse me, what does your city's punishment look like?"

Chu Yun Says:

"That's a lot of miles...... What you call the denial of the right to belief, we should call it, well, that you can no longer hold any important positions. Dismantling, is it dead? There are also punishments such as cutting off ears or breaking legs, and there are punishments such as deprivation of all property, but in the end, they are all about taking something away from people. ”

"Oh, the brutal ...... So you call it cruelty. ”

Zaiyi lowered his gray-yellow lion's head like a erring child, and his beard hung down:

"Then we're the same as you, we're all the same......"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, the young man shook his head, woke up suddenly, and asked.

"We've got a cripple too."

Zai Yan said in despair.

Before parting ways, Kyung-yo told him that he would take the light off Nine's body as a punishment for Nine. But this kind of punishment is the answer to the unprecedented in the city, which makes Zai Yan feel terrified.

But he did not dare to disobey this order.

Although he didn't know why he suddenly didn't dare to disobey. He said:

"Okay, Kyokyo."

The sandstorm dust wall poured all the way through the city of the Gear People, and the whirring wind continued all day long.

It is worth mentioning that the civil strife among the gear people did not end.

After Gu Chuan and Chu Yun rested in the room where they were originally in the original Ziyuan, they soon noticed that the cogs in the biological problem area looked hurried.

Gu Chuan didn't want to continue to stay in the answer city, and after he and Chu Yun sorted out their backpacks, they called Zaiyu, who was wandering in the biological problem area, and said that they wanted to say goodbye to Zijin and Jing Yuan.

"Are you going on your next trip so soon?"

Zaiyan's surprise was something Gu Chuan couldn't understand. The young man said,

"Time waits for no one, and our lifespan is limited...... Haha, it's the idea of doing the most in a short life. ”

What's more, the current city of gear people makes them feel strange and dangerous.

Jae-chan was silent and did not speak, showing them a way.

When they saw Jing Yuan again, there was no head or face, only the two-horned cogwheel man was standing at the entrance of a laneway, directing the rest of the cogwheel man to blockade the aisle.

Because in this alleyway, there are cogwheel people who are stubborn and determined to restore the existence of the mentors.

Even though everyone knows that it is no longer possible to return to the way it was.

Whether the mentors can be recovered or not, no cogs know.

But they always claim that the present state is incorrect and that the past is good. As for the seventeen questions they had been determined to answer, there was no one else to ask them now.
