Chapter 95: The Spiritual Body Forced to Strip
“!”
The sentinel's spirit body would not pester a strange guide for no reason. She had forgotten that even if she used something to cover up the smell, the spirit body's mark was difficult to hide.
That's why the white fox rushed over to her when it saw her. After all, in its eyes, she was the one who saved it from bondage.
Lilith's body tensed quietly, and she looked at Shen Jiaxu stiffly. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to realize anything. She bent down and picked up the white fox from the ground.
At the same time, Robbins' voice came again.
"Watch your step and don't step on anything you shouldn't!"
Things you shouldn't step on? Lilith lowered her gaze and quickly realized that they were probably referring to some raised weapon controllers that looked a bit like the remote controls of time bombs.
In addition to pollutants, there is also the problem of whether there are any old weapons that are damaged.
“Get out of the way!”
Lilith turned sideways reflexively, and a pitch-black bird flew past her and grabbed a twisted tentacle in its mouth.
Is it Gene's voice? Is it his spirit? With this shout as a signal, strange things quickly emerged from the thick fog.
Either it was a rotten tree root, or a sticky tentacle, or perhaps it was a scarlet liquid that suddenly fell from the sky.
These are all pollutants. They were originally the spirits of the sentinels, but after the sentinels died in the polluted area, they were forcibly separated and became part of the pollution.
"These devils can't be completely killed with ordinary weapons. One day, I'm going to use a particle cannon to blow them all up!"
The baby-faced sentry behind Lilith said, she remembered that his name seemed to be Lanqi. There were too many names, and she would not deliberately remember anyone who was not familiar with him.
To learn more about the contaminated area, Lilith decided to ask questions.
"If we can't kill them, then the more sentinels die, the more pollutants there will be. It's a vicious cycle."
After all, if there are more pollutants, the contaminated area will expand, right? This seems to go against the original purpose of the Long March Army, right?
Lilith was a little confused. Lan Qi glanced at her and did not answer. It seemed that he did not want to pay attention to her. Instead, Shen Jiaxu beside him explained softly,
"Unkillable pollutants will only sacrifice more Sentinels, and the Sentinels' spirits will become new pollutants. Therefore, we must forcibly remove the out-of-control Sentinels' spirits and dispose of them before they die, and then kill their true bodies..."
Stripping a person's spirit while their consciousness remains is a form of torture. Even in the Empire, this is an absolutely forbidden criminal law, because no one can guarantee that they will not lose control and be torn apart alive.
"Apart from this, is there no other way? Doing this is like treating the sentinels as consumables..."
“That’s what we are.”
Shen Jiaxu cut off the approaching tentacle with a knife, and the white fox opened its mouth and swallowed it.
"The Sentinels' loss of control is almost irreversible. There is no other way except to cruelly separate them from their spirits, unless there is a guide willing to purify them."
Shen Jiaxu didn't look at her, but Lilith felt that he was reminding her.
"But the risk of backlash is too great. No guide is willing to take the risk. R, why did His Highness allow you to accompany the first team?"
Shen Jiaxu murmured, as if coaxing,
"It's to protect us. Your Highness must not want to see the sentinels die in vain, right? A guide should do their job well. I protect you, and you should also help me when I lose control, right?"
It seemed to make sense. Lilith, as a guide, was not out for fun. But after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong.
Lilith stared at Shen Jiaxu's peach blossom eyes, and suddenly realized that this guy was indeed an absolute egoist. At this time, he was still trying to give her a hint, wanting her to help him when he might lose control.
She looked at Shen Jiaxu strangely, wondering how many people he had said this to.
"Okay, I understand."
Lilith answered vaguely, neither agreeing nor refusing. She did not rely on the protection of the sentinels beside her, and she escaped danger many times. Even Lanqi's eyes when he looked at her became softer.
"You seem to be quite skilled. Although you don't have any method, you are very fast."
Just kidding, her agility index is a little higher, and she believes in running away if she can't win.
Although their fighting power is not as good as these powerful sentinels, as long as the guide can protect himself and not be a drag, it is enough to make them feel at ease.
"who!"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lanqi suddenly knelt on the ground, holding his forehead with his hand and looking somewhere. As he fell, Lilith was also pulled down and squatted. The other team members seemed to sense something and questioning voices came.
"What's wrong?"
Robbins' voice was unclear in the fog. Lanqi shook his head.
"It seems... No, it's nothing. I must have seen it wrong."
He stood up quickly, and tried to pull Lilith, who he had accidentally pulled down, but the other hand was faster than his, and it was the recruit.
Lilith didn't hesitate, she took Shen Jiaxu's hand and stood up, trying to save as much energy as possible. The pressure in this contaminated area was too great, even such a high-level sentry was distracted.
Moreover, the disadvantage of safety chains is that if one person stops, everyone will be affected.
This safety chain is both a connecting tool and an obstacle to escape. Once you encounter danger, you probably won't be able to truly fight without unlocking the lock first, right?
She knew this simple truth, so it made no sense that the people in the first team didn't know it.
So……
Lilith suddenly felt a chill. Perhaps this safety chain was not for the safety of the sentinels, but to restrain out-of-control sentinels. They would lose their minds and naturally would not unlock the chain. They would be quickly located by the others, and then their spirit bodies would be stripped away and killed.
Do they all know this? Everyone is a potential loser. Knowing that there is only one way out, how can these sentinels have the courage to move forward?
Is it Shen Jiaxu too?
Her eyes involuntarily fell on the handsome young man. His face was covered by a mask, but his hair was flying in the air.
Is it so important for him to leave Count Willand's surveillance? Is it so important that he is willing to risk his life to join the first team?
Or did he come with Alice?
The footsteps became slower and slower. Lilith couldn't help but hold her breath. The chain around her waist suddenly trembled violently, as if the person in front of her was shaking it hard.
Is there danger?
