Liao Yuewei casually lifted Cheng Shuang behind the sofa. Even though she knew that Cheng Shuang still had the life-protecting jade pendant given to her by her sister, her subconscious actions always outpaced her thinking.
Du Lanshan was just one step behind her.
The two focused their attention, intently examining the wanderer's body, trying to find clues. They would never believe that this wanderer was a pure human. After all, the wanderer's choice to don a human shell was not only for special needs, but also to make the temporary rulers of Earth—humans—careless before taking over the planet, so as to better achieve their goals.
Fortunately, the bear cub's protective shield was always effective, deflecting all the bullets and laser beams under a barrage of attacks, with the force of the rebound leaving uneven marks on the metal wall.
When the little girl popped her head out from behind the sofa, looking completely bewildered, all she could see was a dazzling array of colors.
She instinctively squinted, using her thin eyelids to shield herself from the overly bright light, and her small hand accidentally pressed on the top of the beautiful man's head, with a soft click.
The attack stopped immediately.
Both sides, separated by a protective shield, turned their gazes towards each other.
Cheng Shuang blinked blankly, then innocently withdrew her hand, "My ear... my ear is split open!"
Du Lanshan regained his senses first, took a closer look, and immediately stepped forward to pull the half-detached earlobe outward.
"You mustn't offend the master!"
They ignored the receptionist's loud, mechanical voice and focused all their attention on a tiny figure, about the size of a thumb, being pulled out of their 'brain' through their ear canals.
The three of them simultaneously started thinking: these homeless people must have grown up watching Thumbelina (Arrietty, the Borrower)!
The little figure in front of her was much more unique than Arrietty.
The whole thing is golden, with a hairless big head and soft, toothpick-thin limbs, making it look like an abstract stick figure.
This abstract painting is unusual in that it wears a pretty little dress that is exactly the same as the 'beautiful woman's' outer shell, making it easy to distinguish its gender.
At this moment, it is lying on its back in the ear canal mode seat, sleeping soundly.
The receptionist is practically going crazy!
It rushed up and pounded on the transparent protective shield. Seeing that it could not easily shake the thin membrane with its simple steel body, it immediately let out an angry roar, "Notification, notification, enemy situation, requesting special legion to proceed to the reception room in the center of the ninth-floor arena."
The three of them tensed up and immediately became highly focused.
The phrase "Special Legion" clearly indicates something extraordinary. Thinking of those strangely shaped humanoid monsters and monsters that looked like unfinished products, an incredible idea flashed through their minds.
Those who end up in the arena are probably all products of failed experiments, hence their varying strengths and how most don't match their ferocious appearances.
If that's the case, then the next enemy will definitely be difficult to deal with.
Knowing this was a rare opportunity, Cheng Shuang grabbed the thumb-sized wanderer and separated it from its human shell, placing them into a spatial compartment and instructing the bear cub to watch over them carefully. Liao Yuewei, Du Lanshan, and even the little wolf demon appeared to help, once again nimbly searching for any hidden buttons that might be present on the sofa.
When I entered the reception room, it was empty. But when the barrier fell and divided the room in two, the first thing I saw was a sofa, followed by the beautiful lady and her armed robot.
The three suspected that the sofa was some kind of transmission device.
Although this device could very well send them directly to the enemy's headquarters, they were all trying to escape, so why not press on? There was no reason to back down in this dilemma.
Before the receptionist could react, Liao Yuewei found the button, which wasn't really a button, but just a palm print-shaped indentation on the sofa armrest.
She glanced at her companions who were already clinging to the sofa, and immediately tried to do so. When that failed, the little girl quickly took out the beautiful woman's shell, held its wrist, and pressed it against it.
In an instant, everything went dark, then the light returned in the blink of an eye.
Before they could even survey their surroundings, a deafening cacophony of alarm sirens blared: 'Warning: Intruders are about to enter! Intruders are about to enter! Intruders are about to enter!'
Once her vision returned to normal, Cheng Shuang gasped.
The sofa had somehow transformed into a cloud-shaped cloud and disappeared beneath my feet, merging into the transparent, glass-like circular support platform.
In the blink of an eye, the platform began to shrink towards the castle, until it shrank to a size where a dozen or twenty people could stand side by side, and then it stopped abruptly.
The towering metal city before them stretched to the sky, and the humans standing on the platform looked no bigger than ants compared to it, utterly insignificant.
It exudes a cold and hard feeling. From the outside, there are no gaps, not to mention the normal human architectural style such as doors and windows. At first glance, it looks like a huge and complete stubborn rock.
Stepping back reveals an abyss, where a complete spinning top-shaped building is faintly visible. Compared to the steel city, the 'spinning top' is more like a miniature model the size of a grain of rice. If it weren't for the excellent eyesight of the maintainer, it might not be any different from a black dot in the eyes of an ordinary person.
Further ahead... countless firearms protruded from the castle's outer walls, where the entrance was barely discernible, like the eyes of various monstrous creatures, aimed at the three men and the wolf, exuding a chilling and murderous aura.
Cheng Shuang quickly put the little wolf demon back into the safe and shoved it into her spatial storage. She casually asked in a low voice, "Do you think the protective shield will still work after a fall from a great height?"
Du Lanshan and Liao Yuewei gave a wry smile. Regardless of whether it would work or not, they had to give it a try.
