Chapter 297 "Brain in a Vat"



Vivian could see that the coin Fionnian had taken out was now beginning to show fine cracks.

After he took out his own coin, he found that the same thing had happened to the coins he had.

The crack on the coin wasn't large, but it was gradually spreading across the entire surface of the coin.

Moreover, what's even stranger is—

When Weaving and Fionn tried to observe the cracks that had appeared on the coin.

They discovered that the coins and the cracks themselves seemed to be on different levels.

It's as if the coin that appears in reality and the forces that cause the crack in the coin are not on the same dimension.

It's like when these cracks completely cover the entire coin.

What will happen is not that the coin will shatter into a pile of small pieces, but that it will disappear completely.

Looking at the coin in my hand, which, although already showing cracks, still had a flowing light on it.

Fionn felt a strange sensation—

It started when he obtained the coin from Gu Xinghe.

No, perhaps it started after he first discovered Gu Xinghe, who had encountered a shipwreck, on the sea.

Since meeting Gu Xinghe, Fei Aonan felt that his previous life had undergone a huge change.

This transformation cannot be described as a "sudden downturn".

But it seems like they're following the same old, conventional path.

They were being pulled along a road that was going completely in a different direction, speeding away.

He had no idea where this road, which led in a completely different direction, would ultimately lead.

But so far, he has already experienced "ups and downs" that are different from his ordinary past.

Unlike most people who are only curious and fond of something at first, but feel scared after actually experiencing it.

Fionnian's initial purpose in arriving at the Ocean Oasis was indeed to seek some kind of "excitement" on this journey.

It wasn't that she felt fear about the "ups and downs" that occurred after meeting Gu Xinghe.

Or perhaps, this feeling still exists to some extent.

However, Fionn felt more of a vague sense of melancholy, along with other feelings that were even more difficult to describe.

Just like the coin he's holding now, both in its very existence and the meaning it symbolizes.

It is a mixture of one in ten thousand chance of luck and miracles themselves.

In the end, he witnessed it with his own eyes, and it came to him.

At this point, both Weaving and Fionn carefully put away the extremely important coin.

Then, the two looked at each other and decided to head towards the center of the "basin" they had just seen.

At this point, it is not difficult for them to head from the edge of the "basin" where they are now to the very bottom of the center.

With a combination of gliding and jumping, Weaving and Fionn had reached the bottom of the island's center.

They discovered that this huge crater, located in the center of the "basin," should not have been directly exposed on the ground.

Just like the roots of a tree should be covered with soil.

Perhaps it was since the day the stars returned to their positions four days ago.

The island "awakened" from the deep sea and then appeared on the surface of the water.

Thus, this enormous pit, which had gathered the remnants and waste of countless lives, was exposed.

This place looks just like the "brain in a vat" in the bizarre laboratory of the mad scientist.

Although it doesn't look like a brain with a wrinkled cortex to the naked eye.

However, this "brain" is more of a symbolic term.

The "brain" is composed of various broken and deformed limbs provided by unqualified and eliminated individuals.

Then, new people were continuously transported to this island, constantly supplying nutrients to this "brain".

When Weaving and Fionn reached the bottom of the giant pit...

The image of the "brain in a vat" that they had seen before them became even clearer—

Those deformed limbs continued to grow uncontrollably from the broken flesh.

Furthermore, these limbs did not only gather and grow on that huge piece of meat that exuded a delicious flavor.

As Weaving and Fionn tried to approach him.

They also saw that these severed forearms and lower legs were growing out of the ground next to this huge mass of flesh.

Like poisonous flowers growing on a corrosive grassland.

And as Fionn tried to tear these arms off the ground.

A new arm quickly grew from the original break.

Some barely recognizable limbs were densely packed around the huge mass of flesh, writhing helplessly in the air.

This makes it look almost like a giant spore-like organism—with inside, the embryonic form of some kind of life.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Dolly and the other survivors of the Oasis of the Seas were still desperately fleeing.

However, Dolly, who was focused on the escape route ahead, had no time to pay attention to what was behind her.

Run faster, run even faster, don't stop!

"ah--!!!"

At that moment, Dolly felt someone suddenly grab her arm, which she had been swinging wildly.

Then he simply pulled her entire body backward.

The immense force disrupted her running pace, and she fell heavily to the ground.

Her survival instincts allowed her to react immediately when she fell to the ground.

But by the time she tried to stand up again and continue her escape, it was already too late.

The indigenous people on the islands who had been relentlessly pursuing them had now caught up with her.

"No!! No!! It hurts so much! Help me!!"

Upon hearing Dolly's scream, the fleeing people in front of them quickened their pace even further.

At this moment, Dolly could clearly feel her skin and muscles being torn off bit by bit.

You can clearly hear the sounds of those savages chewing their food.

The excruciating pain emanated from the various torn wounds all over his body.

Finally, she managed to lift her head and gave Mendes a cold look, who had now run back to where she had been.

Gradually, she seemed to lose all feeling of her own body.

Are there still any definite body parts on her body now?

Or has she actually been completely swallowed?

Dolly then felt her consciousness gradually sinking into darkness.
