Death has never been as clear and imminent as it is now!
"Go!" For the first time, the old dog's hoarse, dry voice took on a kind of resoluteness that was almost a roar! His skinny hand slammed down on a green button on the side of the operating table!
Snap! Snap!
The safety buckles that bound Lin Mo's body popped open instantly!
At the same time, a violent mechanical sound emanated from beneath the operating table! A metal floor suddenly slid downward, revealing a deep, dark vertical passageway, barely wide enough for one person to pass through! An even fouler smell, thick with rust and decaying vapor, gushed out from below!
"Down below... in the maze... hide... don't look back!" Old Dog's voice was extremely urgent, the red light of his mechanical prosthetic eye staring intently at the clinic ceiling, as if confronting that invisible blue gaze! "... light... don't let it... go out!"
Before he finished speaking——
Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!
Several deafening explosions, as if exploding overhead, mixed with the roar of collapsing buildings, suddenly echoed from above the clinic! The entire underground space shook violently! Dust and debris rained down from the ceiling like a torrential rain! The pungent smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air!
Bloody Blade's landing capsule! It's landed! Right above the clinic!
Then, a series of violent, intense thuds, like a sledgehammer hitting a door, accompanied by the harsh sizzling sound of energy weapons cutting through thick metal, erupted outside the clinic's heavily armored door! From outside came the wild, excited roars of the pirates!
"That's it! The signal source is right down there!"
"Blow up this broken door for me!"
"Boss Sarn must live! Don't break that treasure!"
Almost at the same moment——
Buzz!!!
An indescribable, icy-cold wave of law, like invisible ripples, penetrated the clinic's roof, walls, and armored doors... ignoring all physical barriers, it instantly filled the entire space like mercury pouring out! The surgical instruments, metal racks, and glass jars containing organ samples swept by this wave... their surfaces were instantly coated in a strange, constantly flowing gray-white halo! It was as if time had sped up a billion times! The solid alloy began to lose its luster at a visible rate, becoming gray and brittle! Fine cracks appeared on the surfaces of plastic and glass!
Observer! It launched a direct attack! Not physical destruction, but... accelerating the local increase of entropy! It caused the material structure to completely disintegrate and decay!
The space inside the clinic is accelerating its "aging" and "death"!
"Go!!!" The old dog let out a wild, almost animal-like roar! His hunched body suddenly erupted with a terrifying strength that didn't match his appearance. He grabbed Lin Mo, who was unable to move due to the severe pain and energy shock on the operating table, and stuffed him into the vertical passage that slid open!
"Ugh!" Lin Mo only had time to let out a short cry of pain before his body fell uncontrollably into the cold darkness! The feeling of rapid falling was instantly overwhelming!
In his last glance before falling into darkness, he saw:
Under the combined force of the pirates' cutting and the increasing entropy within, the clinic's heavy armored door collapsed inward like rotten wood that had decayed for eons, disintegrating! A group of pirates, clad in crude exoskeletons, with hideous faces and armed with a variety of crude but deadly weapons, rushed in with a roar like hyenas smelling blood! Dazzling beams of tactical flashlights blazed wildly!
Old Dog, a hunched, withered figure, stood alone, his back to the falling tunnel entrance, between the collapsing dust and the incoming pirates. His crude mechanical eye was now blazing with an unprecedented, blinding crimson light! The glow danced and rose like a tangible flame! His withered right hand had, at some point, grasped a strangely shaped weapon, its barrel crudely welded from several metal tubes entwined with dark red energy lines, its muzzle gleaming with an extremely unstable, dark blue plasma...? The energy fluctuations emanating from the weapon caused even the pirates charging in the front to pause subconsciously!
The old dog didn't look back. His hoarse, dry voice, tinged with electromagnetic noise, pierced through the pirates' roars, the whining of weapons, and the wailing of matter disintegrating. Like an icy iron spike, it fiercely chiseled into the depths of Lin Mo's rapidly falling consciousness:
"Run! Starry Sky's... Spark... Don't... Look back!"
Then——
boom!!!!!!
An indescribable, destructive energy beam, a mixture of violent blue plasma, blinding crimson energy streams, and... some deeper, more ancient power, erupted from the strange weapon in Old Dog's hand like a vengeful fire erupting from the abyss of hell! With the determination to destroy everything, it fiercely slammed into the incoming group of space pirates! It also slammed into... the grayish-white law fluctuations that filled space, accelerating entropy!
The blinding light instantly devoured Lin Mo's final vision! The roar of a massive explosion, the wailing of the pirates, the whistling sound of matter being completely annihilated... mixed with the old dog's final, cold and resolute roar, like a violent thunderbolt, fiercely poured into Lin Mo's ears as he fell into darkness!
He fell into a cold, dirty, bottomless darkness.
Above our heads lies a purgatory where the flames of destruction collide with the cold wave of entropy.
Inside the body is a cruel battlefield of raging starry sky torrents and corrosive crystals.
The tiny existence named "Lin Mo" is like an ember burned out in a cosmic storm, falling into an unknown abyss.
