Chapter 154: The old, weak, sick and disabled need their "pleasure" to be achieved through abuse...

Led by the crow, they walked for five days.

Fortunately, with Lin Ke’s “mobile kitchen”, there was no shortage of food and drink along the way.

"Here we are, finally here! The Crow is back!"

The crow was so excited when it saw the botanical garden from afar. It flapped its wings and flew away so fast that it disappeared in an instant.

Cecilia walked slowly behind with Wilbert and Linke.

The botanical garden seems to be different from when we came here.

Although she had no vision at the time, she could hear the noise around her and the sounds of many different creatures. It should have been a lively atmosphere.

But now, the entire botanical garden is eerily quiet, and there is no trace of "plants" to be seen, only a piece of charred land.

"Strange, where are the trees here?"

The teddy bear looked up in confusion and looked around. "When we left, there were tall trees all around here, and it was hard to tell the direction. If it weren't for the crows leading the way, we might not have been able to get out for days."

Trees?

Now the place is completely bare, not even a weed can be seen, let alone a tree.

Without the obstruction of plants, the direction of the botanical garden was much easier to identify. They saw the dormitory where they had stayed before and a desperate crow from afar.

"It's over, it's all over!"

Looking at the desolate scene in front of it, the crow put on a pitiful expression and tears as big as beans kept dripping down its face.

"Everything is gone. The botanical garden is completely destroyed! How can I explain this to the Lord God?!"

Following the crow's line of sight, they walked into the deserted dormitory. The caterpillar that they had lived with was nowhere to be found. The dormitory was empty and dilapidated, with traces of burning on the walls, as if it had experienced a disaster.

"Where is the director? Do you know where he lives?"

Since she had never seen the botanical garden in its previous state, Cecia was not greatly shocked by its current desolation, and was able to analyze the current situation rationally.

"Oh right! And there's the director! He must know what happened in the botanical garden, and he must have a solution!"

Hearing the director's words, the crow instantly perked up. It raised its head suddenly and wiped its tears with its pitch-black wings.

"Maybe the botanical garden just moved, and the director didn't have time to tell me! I'm going to find the director. All this is fake! Director..."

The crow flapped its wings quickly and flew towards a tall building.

Seeing this, Cecia carried Wilbert on one hand and followed.

Compared to the desolation of other places, this place looks even more terrifying.

The building was covered with a thick layer of charred matter, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.

There were also signs of burning inside, the items were placed in a very messy manner, there were bloody hairs scattered on the ground, and even a charred corpse.

It seems that a battle took place here?

Cecia bent down to examine the shapeless mass and could barely make out its head and limbs. It should be the corpse of some animal.

The other person was holding something tightly in his hand, and she tried hard for a long time to pry it open.

It was a metal gear.

Because the corpse was burned together with the gears, its skin was firmly attached to the gears. After forcibly prying them apart, a piece of black skin was torn off.

"Gears, know, them, the devil."

Lin Ke, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke. He stared at the small gear with horror, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"Director! Mr. Director, where are you?"

The cries of crows came from upstairs, and sounded quite far away from them, probably on the top few floors of the building.

Hearing the noise, Cecilia rushed over with her family.

What you see is a shocking scene.

The place that was originally the director's office was now littered with corpses and mechanical parts, and there was a blood-stained mechanical arm lying on the table.

The five fingers, like iron pliers, tightly grasped the pitch-black ear.

Judging from the shape, the ears should come from some kind of canine animal.

The crow was dumbfounded. Its wings trembled and it picked up its ears in disbelief.

"Director?"

Its voice was very soft, as if it was afraid of disturbing something, which was in stark contrast to its usual noisy voice.

"The director is dead... No, that's impossible! How could the director be dead when he is so powerful?"

The crow muttered to himself, shaking his head as he spoke, looking a little crazy.

"Yes, the director must have left for something. He always dislikes me for being too noisy, and this time must be the same, so he deliberately didn't tell me! That's right! When the director softens his heart, he will come to find you, Ben Ya!"

"He's not dead yet."

Cecia couldn't stand the other party's sad expression, so she grabbed the crow's wings and turned it over, and the man and the crow glared at each other.

"Don't cry, it's just an ear that fell off, it's not like you saw a dead body."

As she spoke, she picked up the half of the mechanical arm and handed it to Lin Ke who was behind her.

"Hey, take a look, is this from those guys?"

Lin Ke took it with his robotic arm and used the precision instruments on his body to scan and inspect the arm.

"Yes, they are horrible, sinners, and abusers."

An electronic skull appeared on the display screen above Lin Ke’s head, expressing his inner panic.

"Did you hear that?"

Cecia picked up the crow and said, "This thing was left by the guys from the Mechanical Kingdom. If your director is still alive, he is most likely in the Mechanical Kingdom. If he is already dead, you have to avenge him."

"Looking at the situation in the Botanical Garden, I'm afraid your other companions have fallen into the hands of the Mechanical Kingdom. And you are their only hope."

Hearing this, a light flashed in the crow's eyes.

It twitched its nose, restrained its outward emotions, and the whole crow regained its spirits.

"Of course! Do I need to tell you that?"

The crow puffed out his chest with pride, and would have looked even more heroic if there were no tears in his eyes.

"My companions must be saved by me, the crow. Otherwise, how can I count on a weak sinner like you?"

After saying that, the crow turned around proudly and flew away out of the window again.

This time they were on the fifth floor.

Looking down from the window, Cecia decisively gave up her plan to jump and returned obediently along the same route.

As she went downstairs, all kinds of speculations popped into her mind.

How did the botanical garden become like this?

The director treats the criminals so kindly, and there are few people like her who dare to set fire directly.

The problem should not be with the sinner.

The gears and mechanical arms are the most obvious clues and the irrefutable evidence.

But since it is also an area governed by gods, why would the Mechanical Kingdom take action against the Botanical Garden?

Could it be that the gods or the higher-ups in the Mechanical Kingdom have discovered the director’s identity as a rebel… Therefore, this is a purge.

But the crows seemed to know nothing about the rebellion, and the staff on the ground floor of the botanical garden should not have been involved.

Their actions were too ruthless, and they even spared no effort to kill the plants that the gods had commanded them to take care of.

No matter how you look at it, there is something fishy about this matter.

Walking out of the building, the crow flapped its wings and stayed in the air, rarely doing so as not to fly away in a hurry.

Perhaps after this experience, the crow has grown and realized the importance of companions.

Seeing them coming down, a hint of human embarrassment appeared on Crow's face.

"Well, I've never been to the Mechanical Kingdom, so I don't know which direction it is..."

...Well, she was overthinking it.

Cecilia patted it rudely, turned around and picked Lin Ke out.

"You're the only one who knows the place, lead the way."

Lin Ke remained silent, and the display screen above his head was blank.

"don't want."

About five minutes later, he finally uttered two words with difficulty.

"Are you worried about being caught by them?"

Cecia asked patiently, "Your appearance is similar to theirs now, so you will only be considered the same kind. Will and I have the dessert shell as a cover, so we will be fine."

"You don't understand. They are scary. Discovery makes you afraid."

Lin Ke shook his head so hard that it almost fell off.

You've become a cyborg, why are you still so slow...

After I spoke to her in a nice tone once, she became impatient.

"You only have two choices: One, lead the way to the Mechanical Kingdom. If there is a chance, I will help you and your sister recover. Two, refuse to lead the way, and I will tear you into parts right now."

Her tone was full of threats.

With Weir's ability, the opponent's "daydreamer" can't make any waves.

“…”

Lin Ke's body made a clanging sound, as if all parts of his body were fighting with each other.

"One. Choice, one."

In this way, with her kind words, persuasion (crossed out), coercion and inducement, the group finally embarked on their journey.

——

The Mechanical Kingdom is far away from the Botanical Garden, and they have families with them.

Not only is there a vampire noble who has been weak since childhood and currently cannot see, but there is also a crow that gets tired after flying for less than an hour.

This seriously slowed down their progress, and it took them more than ten days to reach the Mechanical Kingdom.

This is based on the premise that Cecilia can carry one in each hand.

“We’ve finally arrived.”

The teddy bear panted and sat down on Cecia's shoulder, "I'm so tired, and you guys are walking too slowly!"

Who is tired?

Cecia said nothing, just stared at the teddy bear.

Along the way, she was almost covered with them.

There was a teddy bear sitting on her right shoulder, Wilbert on her left shoulder, and the crow was dragging in her right hand... Fortunately, robots didn't know what tiredness was, otherwise she would have to hold another one in front.

"You guys just lack exercise. I'm not tired at all!"

The crow looked very proud and raised its beak. No one knew who had dragged it all the way here.

"It's these damned machines, right? I can kill them all in less than five minutes!"

"Then go ahead."

As the person who contributed the most along the way, Cecilia spoke weakly.

“Ahem.”

The crow cleared his throat pretentiously, "Shouldn't I stay here to take care of you? Otherwise, what if they take the opportunity to attack you?"

Does it mean that a group of robots that are completely unaware of their existence will suddenly rush over and attack them?

Cecilia glanced at it indifferently, too lazy to argue with it.

Even though you are in the outer area and have not yet entered the mechanical kingdom, there is no vegetation and no tall trees to block the view, so the situation inside is clearly visible.

Just like what Link said, this is the worst place to treat sinners.

Robots can be seen everywhere in the town. They look extremely similar to Linke, or rather, Linke was originally modified based on them.

They are not completely mechanical, but still retain the most human part, have emotions, and feel joy and sadness.

However, their "pleasure" needs to be obtained through abusing humans.

The humans in the town were on all fours, naked like wild animals, crawling on the ground without dignity, with collars around their necks and ropes held by robots.

At first glance, humans are in the same position as pets, but in fact, they are much more miserable than pets.

The reason robots treat humans this way is not because they want to take good care of them, but because they are simply looking for fun. If they are not satisfied, they will beat and scold them at will, or even abuse them on the spot. In serious cases, they will even dismember humans.

The technology here is advanced, and even if someone is missing limbs, they can be rescued, and if the mood is right, they can even be given mechanical limbs.

"How can they treat sinners like this?"

The crow watched their brutal behavior in shock. It had always stayed in the gentle botanical garden and had never been exposed to the darkness of other areas.

Although they kept calling them sinners, sinners, as if looking down on them, under the long-term influence of the director, the creatures in the botanical garden subconsciously treated the sinners kindly, and the crows were no exception.

"The director said that although the sinners are burdened with sins, they also have the opportunity to atone for their sins. As long as they are willing to work, the gods will forgive the sinners..."

The crow was still buffering here, but Lin Ke had completely crashed over there.

He originally escaped from this hellish place, and the reason why he became what he is now is because he was greatly shocked.

Revisiting the old place now is really a test of his ability to endure.

A broken cyborg, a useless crow, an invisible weak vampire, and a teddy bear that can only be used as a mascot...

Their team is really a collection of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and she is the only young and strong labor force.

Giving up the idea of ​​breaking through by force, Cecilia took out the two skins filled with chocolate scent, put them on herself and Wilbert, and tied up the crow with a chain.
