The starry sky is dim, with occasional meteors passing by, causing some space shocks.
Inside the car, at the Consciousness Research Institute, Gustav frowned and asked, "Are you really going to do that?"
Ling Yue was packing up her equipment nearby and replied in a relaxed tone, "The train won't be using defenders this time. We're testing the strength of the giant face. I just happened to have an experiment that, if successful, might be of great help."
"Did the boss agree?" Gustav asked.
"The experiment was approved, but he didn't know it was me. This equipment is extremely complex, and no one else can control it. I'm a mechanic, and I have a natural ability to control machinery. Don't look like that, I definitely won't go and die. I'm very sure."
Gustav is a color mimic and worked in the Biological Research Center for a long time. Later, when the Consciousness Research Institute was established, he was transferred here by Ling Yue.
Feeling uneasy, he asked, "How long will it take?"
"It'll take about twenty minutes, so we'll have enough time. Wait, don't tell An Ge about this, he'll definitely not let me go. You know, this kind of experiment would be a great experience if I could experience it myself."
Gustav asked, "Aren't you afraid that Fuyao will reveal it?"
"Fuyao has a bug. She will only report to him any major incidents that violate train regulations, are harmful to the train, or are harmful to An Ge. My incident is very minor and will not be reported."
Gustav nodded, opened the door and left.
After a while, Ling Yue received a call from Chen An.
"This experiment is too dangerous. Who are you going to send?"
Ling Yue replied: "We have robots, don't worry!"
"I'm sure you'll be fine. What on earth were you thinking, doing experiments on the rooftop when the giant face arrives?"
"Hehe, because I've been researching consciousness converters, I made a device to absorb consciousness. In other words, it can forcibly absorb the target's consciousness when it's in a free state. I suspect those giant faces are consciousness constructs. If I can absorb some of them, I might have a chance to find a way to deal with them."
Chen An supported Ling Yue's experiment and said, "If the giant face comes, I will activate the electromagnetic shield first. If it can't stop it, I will activate the gold plating and launch various counterattacks at the same time. If these still don't work, I can only activate absolute defense. Absolute defense will cut off all communication between the inside and the outside, so the experiment can only be carried out before that."
"Yeah, I see. Hey, why are you a little confused?"
After the call was disconnected, Ling Yue wanted to take two stimulating pills, but she couldn't walk anymore.
Gustav opened the door and came in.
"How dare you go? If anything goes wrong, we'll all be punished. I'm a mimic, my body is very flexible, and I can withstand greater pressure. As for the equipment, besides you, I'm the only one in the institute who can operate it."
Ling Yue gritted her teeth and thought about it, but she still felt discouraged. Anyone who does biological research knows these tricks.
On the other side, Chen An was a little nervous.
"Are you sure the gold plating can block it?"
If this giant face's power is similar to the previous one, we can indeed block it, but it won't last long. During this process, our counterattack will consume the opponent's power, so there's a high probability that we won't need to use defenders.
Since the giant face is an energy body, most of the weapons on the train will be effective, especially between civilizations.
Chen An even had a bolder idea, he wanted to kill Giant Face.
"How long?"
[Ten minutes, the extraordinary railgun will be charged]
"Okay, just proceed according to the plan. As long as there are no unexpected events, I will not issue any additional orders."
Chen An drank a sip of tea and chatted with Liu Wuhua and others beside him.
Feiyi was also present. She was usually busy with work and rarely came here.
Chen An reached out and pinched her chubby face.
"Brother, don't make trouble. I suddenly have an idea."
"What idea?"
"I think the giant face might not be an energy body, but a consciousness body. If it is part of the consciousness of another creature, I might be able to play a role."
Chen An smiled and said, "Forget it. Just help strengthen other abilities when the time comes. No matter what form the giant face takes, it is not immune to energy weapons."
He couldn't help but continue to reach out and pinch Feiyi's face, which made Feiyi feel helpless.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the cockpit became increasingly solemn.
Not only the cockpit, but also the passengers in the main and auxiliary columns.
They had seen the horror of the first giant face and were very worried that the second giant face would be defeated.
"Most of those dead trains were caused by the giant face."
"Fortunately, only one giant face attacked at a time. If they all joined together, I can't imagine what would happen."
"Why not combine them? Are there any special rules?"
"No, look outside."
The starry sky was originally gray, but now it has more colors.
Red, green, blue and purple.
It is like an oil painting spread out flatly, giving people a strong sense of art.
However, the more strange it was, the more the passengers' hearts beat faster.
"Everyone stay calm and don't be affected."
The accelerated heartbeat is not due to excessive fear, but the influence of a strange force.
When the oil painting covered the entire sky, a giant face finally appeared.
There are two eyes on it, and when they are opened, you can see colorful pupils, like two planets slowly rotating, surrounded by colorful cones.
Below the eyes is a tall nose bridge with circles of skull hanging on it, which makes it obvious that it comes from a humanoid creature.
There are two normal nostrils below the nose bridge, and it is rare that there are no nose hairs.
Below the nostrils are brilliant chrysanthemums.
There are countless petals in different colors, and they bloom extremely warmly.
There is a deep hole in the center of the chrysanthemum, from which colorful gases are occasionally ejected. It is this thing that creates oil paintings in the starry sky.
“Is my painting good looking?”
It's a male voice, with its own echo.
Chen An replied: "It's ugly! If you knew anything about art, you wouldn't draw it like this."
Chrysanthemum Face wasn't angry, but simply spoke to herself, "I once met a carbon-based civilization with extremely advanced art. They said my paintings were unprecedented and unrivaled, and they even revered me as a god. Then I destroyed them. Since their art is inferior to mine, what's the point of keeping them around? You said my paintings are ugly, so I sincerely ask, how can I create a better starry sky painting?"
Chen An said: "It's simple, just close your eyes and draw something randomly. It will be better than what you have now."
"That makes sense. Close your eyes and speak from your heart without any constraints. Chen An, worthy of being the strongest train, is indeed insightful and completely different from those rubbish civilizations."
Chen An was speechless. Couldn't this guy hear that he was mocking him?
Suddenly, the Chrysanthemum Face asked, "You don't want to activate Absolute Defense? I actually want to spare your life. After all, there are too few people in this world who understand painting."
Chen An remembered something and asked, "Are all the other trains dead?"
"Maybe. That's why I want to keep you. It's rare to find a toy as strong as you."
After saying that, Juhua ran face first into the train.
However, to his surprise, the train still did not activate its defenses, but a deep hole appeared in the front of the train.
"Interesting, you actually want to fight back?"
