Chapter 174: Chapter 173: Lucky One Chapter 174: Chapter 173: Lucky One After entering the Angel Gate, Sally saw a long corridor.
The space around her occasionally showed cracks.
[Xiaoi, where is this?]
[This should be a spatial interlayer.]
[Spatial interlayer?]
[It’s a space that is on Holy Island, yet not on Holy Island, connecting with other spaces. Right now, other passages are closed, only open to Holy Island. Otherwise, those people wouldn’t have run out.]
[Hmm.]Sally followed the corridor to the end, finally pushing open a thick tal door.
What she saw was a gigantic white silkworm, feasting.
What its massive mouth consud were people, one after another!
Not living people, but frozen corpses; yet the scene was still frightfully shocking.
Suddenly, Sally’s gaze stalled, that was… Kaya Orphislo!
[All these… Are these the females who died in the Holy War?]
[It seems so. This silkworm is not any kind of Beast Clan; it’s a precise system machine. It recycles females who died carrying the Offspring System, restoring the seeds of the Offspring System.]
Sally walked around to the other side of the silkworm and saw its excretion orifice sending out one crystal-clear bead after another.
Looking at that bead, a mory suddenly appeared in Sally’s mind.
At that ti, she was in the form of a soul.
In front of her were many souls queuing up, all female souls, with dull expressions, as if devoid of consciousness.
One after another, they were taken by staff wearing white coats in front of detection devices, and after the detection light turned green, they would be fed a transparent bead and then sent into a room, never to co out again.
When it was her turn, she too stood in front of the device. But soon, she heard an alarm-like sound from the device, and the detection light turned red.
All the staff in white coats were shocked, then two of them controlled her, one on each side, and took her into a laboratory filled with staff and precision instrunts.
She couldn’t speak or move; she could only watch. Her brain was also thinking, guessing that she must have co to a place for reincarnation after death.
The Underworld? The environnt looked quite modern, not at all like in the mythological stories.
The transparent bead must be sothing like Spicy Soup, after eating it one would forget all past mories, and the final room would be the place of reincarnation.
Just as she was about to ask which part she had failed to et standards, so she could cooperate with the inspection again, soone said, “She must have been infected with the primal virus during the mory erasure process, which is now inside her soul. Now, we can either give up on the soul and purify it or use the primitive antivirus operating system to conduct a virus scan. Only the ancient operating systems have that, and they’re no longer available.”
“There is one.” Another staff mber said: “I found an Ancient System No. 002 in the trash to be cleared, which contains the primitive antivirus data. We can use it to perform a virus scan on her, then uninstall it, and by the way, eliminate the ancient system.”
“That’s acceptable, let’s proceed with that.” The other staff mbers resud their positions.
Through the transparent glass wall, Sally saw the queue of souls outside continuing one by one, with the detection light always turning green.
The staff mber who had retained her operated a precision machine in front, and a golden bead fell out.
“Next month, I have to go ho to get married. I can’t work here any longer. Ark System No. 002, this is your last chance; I hope you succeed.”
The staff mber looked at Sally, whose gaze was not dull, hesitated, looked through her information, finally pulled down his mask, revealing a young and handso face, “Hello, my na is Zhang Lin, just like you, I’m from Earth, 25th-century Z Country B City. Not sure whether to call you a lucky one or… Haha, it must be a lucky one, to fulfill the original wish—to return to Earth, to return to mother’s embrace. Shouldn’t be too bad, quite cool. Good luck!!! Lucky one~”
After Zhang Lin fed Sally the golden bead, he took her straight to the room, which she thought was for ‘reincarnation’.
Zhang Lin handed Sally over to the staff inside. The display was filled with dense continental codes, and finally, he pointed to — Lichuan 9908, “Let’s go with this one.”
“All right.” The staff mber pushed Sally into a machine that resembled a space capsule.
She took one last look at the staff mber nad Zhang Lin.
He waved at her…
When she woke up again, she had beco a lab rat.
…
“Returning to Earth, to the embrace of mother… this original desire is indeed quite cool,” Sally sighed. It turned out it wasn’t her original wish.
But now, it had beco hers as well.
[Xiaoi, do you know soone nad Zhang Lin?]
[He is my repairman.]
[Okay, that matches up. It was him who handed you over to , right here. Do you rember anything?]
[I… I rember now. We must destroy the Offspring System!]
[What?] Sally was shocked. [But aren’t you the Offspring System, yet you want to destroy the Offspring System?]
[Destroy…] Xiaoi suddenly started to babble, [No Holy War… destroy the Offspring System… destroy… the seed…]
The temperature in the laboratory suddenly rose.
Sally knew it must be the lava from the volcano, spreading to this place.
She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the huge ‘silkworm’ that was still restoring the seeds of the Offspring System, “Xiaoi, should we collect this thing?”
“Destroy… destroy…” Xiaoi kept mumbling to herself.
Sally ran to the giant silkworm and pressed her small paw onto its body, “Collect!”
If Xiaoi said it was a machine, then it should be collectable.
Although she couldn’t quite say why she should collect it, destroying the thing seed simple enough.
Indeed, as Xiaoi had said, it wasn’t a living creature. The silkworm entered the System Space, along with those seeds of the Offspring System, all collected together.
The lava had lted the walls, turning everything in its path into black stones and ashes.
Sally activated the Teleport, but there was no response!
She imdiately panicked, [Xiaoi!]
Xiaoi remained motionless.
Sally started to flee wildly, but the surrounding area was encircled by lava, leaving her with no path to escape.
Suddenly, she rembered sothing.
She took out a black box from the System Space, which was a gift from Madam Ming, originally containing Manman’s Innate Talent Soul Bead.
Later, Ming Linyuan told her that the black box was actually a spatial transport device.
However, once inside, where it would transport her to was unknown.
It could be a way out of danger, or it could lead to another trap beyond the current peril, with an undetermined destination.
But at the mont, she had no other choice.
Sally jumped directly into the box.
The black box erupted in a burst of white light and vanished into thin air.
