"Xiao Chu, are you really not controlled by the evil god?"
Old Xun looked at Chu Men with a complicated expression, still somewhat uneasy.
As an elder of the Confucian school, Master Xun naturally knew of Chu Men, a famous student of the Confucian school back then, even though they weren't actually in the same department.
Truman adjusted his glasses and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xun, I'm still the same Truman."
"This..." Elder Xun still found it hard to believe.
In the past, there have been instances where rebels tried to infiltrate the government.
The result was that, as they went undercover, their brains were corrupted by demonic energy, without exception.
That's why Master Xun is being extra careful now.
“Although you’ve temporarily escaped from the authorities,” Hua Lingze said, “I think they will send people back to search this place again. I think you should leave as soon as possible.”
Old Mo nodded and said, "You're right, let's hurry to Camp 8."
Hua Lingze shook her head: "No, it's best not to go to Camp 8 either."
Old Master Mo was taken aback: "Huh?"
Lin Nai asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
Hua Lingze said, "Because Camp 8 might not be safe either."
Elder Xun's expression changed drastically: "They're going to attack Camp 8??"
“No,” Hua Lingze said, “The strength of the purple fungus may increase again. At that time, it may not just be Camp 8, but all the rebel camps across the entire land will not be safe, even if they are hiding inside the barrier.”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Lin Yuxi said worriedly, "In that case, wouldn't we have nowhere to hide?"
Old Mo snorted coldly and said, "Even if the entire land is controlled by the evil god, I will never submit! How about this, I will release 'Mechanical Island' and we will live in the sky for the time being."
Ah Guang blinked: "Living in the sky?? How does that mean living in the sky??"
Old Mo grinned and said, "Watch closely, or you'll be dumbfounded." With that, he took a capsule out of his pocket and tossed it into the air.
With a loud "bang!"
As the white smoke dissipated, a huge floating mechanical island appeared above everyone's heads!
Everyone craned their necks, eyes wide, expressions of utter astonishment on their faces. The enormous shadow of the mechanical island completely enveloped them; its visible surface was covered with intricately fitted gears and mechanical structures, many of which were slowly turning—a truly breathtaking sight!
This mechanical island is about the size of a village, but even so, it is still an incredibly large-scale mechanical engineering project!
"My goodness..."
Ah Guang exclaimed in shock: "This is too outrageous..."
Old Master Mo smiled smugly: "Of course, do you think our Mo family's mechanical arts are just for show?"
Tang Hongshan tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "But this thing is so big... it must be very conspicuous in the sky, right? Besides, there are already flying demonic creatures in the skies of the human realm..."
"Don't worry, I've already thought of that," said Elder Mo. "This island has its own camouflage layer, which allows it to become completely invisible in the air, so it will definitely not be detected by those flying monsters!"
"Haha, that's great! Now we're absolutely safe!" Ah Guang clapped his hands and said.
Looking at the massive mechanical island, Lu Xiaoda sighed and said, "Old Mo, you really are amazing. Compared to you, I'm utterly useless. I don't have the talent of a mechanic, my level increases slowly, my physical attributes aren't high, I'm short, I'm not good-looking, and besides..."
"Alright, alright, you brat..." Old Mo sighed helplessly. He had obviously gotten quite used to Lu Xiaoda's frequent emo moments as Lu Xiaoda's former dean: "Xiaoda, how come you're still so insecure after all these years?"
Lu Xiaoda sighed, "I'm telling the truth..."
Linnaeus looked at Truman: "By the way, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"You are still working under the official government, so why haven't you been brainwashed by the evil god like Wang Jian and the others?"
"Wang Jian?" Truman tilted his head. "Big brother, you've met him?"
“I’ve seen him more than once.” Lin Nai turned her head: “Wan’er, bring him here.”
Night Child: "Oh, okay..."
The girl raised her lotus-root-like, white arm, made a grasping motion in the air with her five fingers, and then drew a large circle above her head...
Suddenly, Wang Jian, the otaku, and Qi Yun were snatched up from nowhere, flew through the air in an arc, and then landed on their backsides in front of them...
“Look.” Lin Nai gestured with her chin towards the three senior students who were tied up with ropes.
Truman, Hua Lingze, and Lu Xiaoda: "..."
Wang Jian had woken up, but his mouth and eyes were taped shut, and his body was tightly bound. He could only make "woo-woo-woo" sounds as he struggled and twisted.
Linnaeus said, "I examined their brains, and it seems they have been contaminated by some kind of dark energy. I'm currently trying to find a way to save them."
Truman paused for a moment, then said, "A person whose brain has been corrupted by the dark energy is probably no longer capable of..."
Linnaeus said, "No, I have a way."
Truman paused for a moment, looking at Linnaeus in surprise.
"But that's all for later; it's not finished yet." Lin Nai looked at him and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet. Why are only your brains and Meng Feifei's brains not corrupted by demonic energy?"
Truman shook his head, but said, "In fact, our brains have also been corrupted by the dark energy of the evil god."
Lin Nai paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Then why...?"
Truman calmly stated something that astonished Linnaeus: "Because what you see now that controls our actions, thoughts, and speech is not our original brain."
Linnaeus's pupils suddenly shrank: "...What?"
Truman pointed to his temple and said, "We also have another bionic brain microchip installed in our heads, a product invented by Dada, hidden in the nerves of our brains."
"This chip is only a few micrometers in size, so it can temporarily fool the evil god and Old Zhou."
“Back when the demonic calamity struck and cities fell one by one until only the capital remained, we had already made this preparation.”
"We input all our memories, cognition, knowledge, and all the information in our brains into this micron-sized brain chip to replace many basic brain functions at critical moments."
Lin Nai frowned: "So, your original brains are still in a state of contamination?"
Truman: "Yes."
