Blood, rust, engine oil, and the smell of fermentation of take-out food poured into the induction port.

Joshua activated the eye observation circuit, the soul scanning lens was charged, and the world became clear in his eyes with a slight buzz and snow screen. The warrior saw the black ceiling, stained walls, and the corpse of an aging man who fell in front of him.

He simply pushed away the six robes beside him and knew that they were repairing robotic arms. Joshua controlled his current body and walked down from the workbench. The man stood on the ground of the workroom full of debris and parts, falling into deep thought.

"Puppet Body."

He murmured to himself, and then scanned his whole body: red and black warning paint, human-shaped torso, severely damaged external armor, a large hole in his abdomen, you can see the internally confused steel parts and flashing electric sparks, and you can sense the strong magic reaction at the broken armor.

This is a humanoid puppet slightly taller than an ordinary person. It has a smooth body shape and round joints, which is somewhat similar to a humanoid model in biology classes.

"The soul core inspection has been injected... The harvesting infrastructure of the number snova-21 was seriously damaged, waiting for the maintenance technician to replace the parts. After the repair is completed, go to the second section of the defense line in the eastern breeding area for defense operations."

A faint electromagnetic signal oscillates the strange soul fluctuations and comes from the built-in device on the inside of the body.

"It's fun now..." The so-called "soul core" of this puppet was replaced by fragments of steel. Qiao Xiuya analyzed the electromagnetic signals and soul fluctuations from her body, and couldn't help but feel a little funny: "It actually came to a mechanical component?"

Could it be that Siberia's world will acknowledge that his life form is closest to this steel golem?

This is really too much, I am obviously a human being.

Thinking of this, Joshua turned his head and looked at the corpse of the aging man on one side. Not long after the man died, his soul seemed to be dissipating, but because of his existence, the fragile soul began to gradually approach the soul abyss and finally penetrated into Joshua. He skillfully accepted the soul that seemed to be about to break, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Forget it, just robots are robots."

Next to it is a ready-made human-shaped intelligent life male body, but instinctively chose a mechanical body, which proves that his own life form is indeed somewhat beyond humans and is different from most carbonyl life forms. The legendary path gradually reaches this point, and there will be such troubles as it is now.

"But the energy level of this world... doesn't look like a small world."

Using the power given by the fragments of steel, Joshua supported his broken mechanical body to the corpse. There is no doubt that the intelligent life in this world, the creatures called the "Siberians" have souls... According to the research results determined by Joshua when communicating with the old pope not long ago, the soul is an extraordinary organ that only appears in a world with extremely abundant free energy.

Moreover, there is not a lot of magic power overflowing in the surrounding air. According to the world classification, the Siberian world is at least a world of demons.

There is no doubt that all the news about Siberia of Steel is outdated.

He slowly raised the body that was falling into the pool of frozen blood and placed it on the bed beside him. Joshua observed the dead man, and then noticed the big hole in the other party's head at a glance, and the welding gun that had not been released even if he was dead. He understood that the person in front of him committed suicide, and the reason was unknown.

"The sixth maintenance room maintenance technician. Status: Dead. The soul has dissipated and the body is transported to the medical area."

Just as Joshua carefully observed the corpse in front of him, a faint electromagnetic signal came, as if he had allowed the puppet he possessed to complete the task.

Ignoring this information, the warrior shook his head at it, and couldn't help but feel a pity... If the fragments of steel descended on this body, then Joshua might be able to read the memories in the other party's brain with a powerful soul, but now that he is possessed by a structure, things will be a little troublesome. In order to find information about the environment he is in today, the warrior looked around the entire maintenance room. He noticed the books filled with all the bookcases, and naturally found the blood-stained diary on the workbench.

He came to the workbench and began to read the diary.

The language that records the diary, recorded in the information conveyed by the Steel Python, is a small language in the middle of the Siberian world. Although there are some vocabulary changes, everything is within an acceptable range. At first, Joshua just reads it quickly like a mechanical one, but when he was halfway through the reading, the mechanical construct's hand paused for a moment, and the warrior continued to read, and the construct's reading speed became slower and slower, until at the end, Joshua flipped through the last page and read the diary completely.

"...a breeding area, garden area...soul puppet, humans like puppets, and soul core."

At this time, Joshua already knew that what he had arrived was a harvest-type soul puppet used to suppress the "breeding area", and the corpse in front of him was the technician who repaired the puppet. The soldier frowned and stared at the corpse of the unknown technician. After awakening, this confused man waited alone for twenty years for slaves and animals, but even so, he still had hope. He knew that he was destined to die, but he chose the day of his death and would never let others deal with his own destiny.

"warrior."

Extend his hand and close the other party's unclosed eyes. Joshua placed the diary on the other party's chest, and then began to summarize the current known information.

According to the diary, we can roughly know that he is currently located in an area called the "Garden Area", which is surrounded by the vast "breeding area". The garden area has the best maintenance technicians and doctors, as well as the most elite soul puppets, and all their tasks are to complete their own work and take good care of those "children".

The youngest is young and old. The youngest is just born, the oldest is close to sixteen years old. If you are over sixteen years old, you will be taken away by the soul puppet and sent to the medical area. These children are sent from the breeding areas in all directions. There are not many, but there are also many. Not all young children will be sent to the garden area for training.

It’s like an unknown technician. His work log was in the breeding area at the beginning, but later he entered the garden area to work because of his technical improvement.

The garden area does not engage in production, but is a worshipped existence. The one worships it is a vast breeding area. The breeding area is a huge farmland and pastoral field, where countless people work and produce huge amounts of grain and meat. Among them, some plants are used to worship the garden area, while the other part is sent to the distance.

Speaking of this, Joshua couldn't help but remember the scene he saw when he was still in the air of the Siberian continent: the barren continent was covered with sandstone and yellow-green plains, with only star-shaped green embellishments. Now that I think about it, those greens may be the breeding area. The green cultivated land that can be clearly seen at such a high altitude should be enough to support a million-level population.

"To transform intelligent life into puppets, breed souls, separate the 'super-powered unit'...the rebels who can control magic power, the giant tower in the center of the world...How did this world spend over the past thousand years?"

Whether it is the nameless technician or the steel python Siberia, they know little about the world. The nameless technician speculates that there is a group of rebels outside the breeding area through the damaged puppets sent from time to time. Joshua determined this through the task of electromagnetic signals. Apart from this, he knew nothing about the world.

But this is nothing to do with it. The warrior soothes the joints of his current body. He has the opportunity to observe the world.

Joshua is not an unknown technician, and he doesn't even have the strength to walk out of the corridor of the pit area. The other party has been waiting for twenty years, and can only sneak out to observe while the puppet changes shifts, and he can walk freely wherever he wants to go according to his own wishes.

The warrior's goal is to find the reason why the will of the world was kicked out. According to Joshua's intuition, this matter is definitely related to the spiral giant tower in the center of the world... Even if it doesn't matter, it is also the most important landmark building in the world, and it must be very important. Most of the food in the breeding area was transported away, and he suspected that it was the direction sent to the giant tower.

Controlling the mechanical body, he came to the bookcase. Joshua was not at all discomfort, and even felt very relaxed... This body was much lighter than his body, which made the warrior who was used to the weight of tens of millions of tons feel a floating feeling. With this strange illusion, Joshua pulled out a book from the bookcase, rubbed the book cover, and read the contents.

The books all have knowledge about soul puppets. If an alchemist came here and read the books in it, he would probably exclaim excitedly, because this is a completely different path from the puppets in the Mycrov world. It takes a different approach from the soul's perspective and creates a highly independent and intelligent component. The biggest key point of this technology is the soul core.

"Because there are too many resources required to create artificial souls, we directly use the souls of living people to transform..."

Just a brief look, Joshua can understand the true face of the so-called core of the soul: they are living souls who have been transformed into mechanical programs by some special means! The soul is born with powerful computing power and can replace the brain of a creature. With a slight transformation, it can easily be competent for the control center of the puppet!

Given the mind of Joshua, he would not have been affected by such things. He had seen countless cult priestly rituals, watched extremely crazy collective suicides, and feasts for each other. He had been to hell and abyss, and had personally abused and killed demons, extracted and transformed the souls of living people. Not to mention demons, even some evil spirit wizards often do this. It is not surprising that he has done this.

But that were all done by the evil god believers of chaos, the evil spirit wizards, and the chaotic abyss demons... Those who do these things are just on a whim, but this world has perfected them and formed an industrial chain. From the beginning, they are screened, worshipped, cultivated, and extracted. Everything is too perfect and natural... This has formed a society with the main purpose of harvesting the soul.

“It’s time to go outside and have a look.”

With all preparations, Joshua shook hands, which was enough to easily break the steel and iron columns gathered together layer by layer. He felt that his current body should have gold-level combat power and should be enough to deal with most of the troubles in this world.

Before walking to the door of the maintenance room, before opening it, Joshua turned his head and looked at the nameless technician who was put on the bed by him. Then Joshua turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

The pure white light shone into the dark workroom, and the pure air blew away the smell of blood and rust. Joshua came to the corridor, and the door behind him slowly closed behind him. The soldier looked up and observed the small world that had trapped the technician for twenty years.

This is a pure white tiled corridor. There is a dead end on the left and an exit on the right. The top of the corridor is bright incandescent lamps. There are eight doors on both sides of the corridor. It is located at the sixth door close to the outside.

At the exit on the right side of the corridor, there are four weapons holding weapons like a welding gun. They probably saw something in the technician's mouth. They all turned their heads and looked in the direction where Joshua was. Joshua sensed the soul fluctuations being released by these puppets and scanned his whole body. Soon after, the two puppets began to step towards Joshua. They held the ray generator and came to the warrior, and said in an emotionally unsensical tone: "No. snova-21, you have not completed the repair, immediately return to the sixth dimension..."

Click.

Silently, two huge hands raised and pressed on the heads of the two soul puppets. The thick palms were clenched carelessly, causing the sharp noise of steel rubbing against steel to sound immediately... Then there was the crisp "click" sound of metal breaking, and the sharp twisting sound of steel deformation.

The soul puppets struggled hard, waving their hands and feet to hit each other's arms, but after a few seconds, they lowered their hands and stopped moving, causing the furnace ray generator to fall to the ground.

With one palm pressed the enemy's observation port, Qiao Xiuya, who had energy to destroy the soul core, threw the two soul puppets in his hand that had turned into garbage on the ground. He picked up the furnace ray generator from the ground, and the other two soul puppets in the distance had discovered an abnormality at this time and turned around.

"No. snova-21, you are attacking the corridor guards of the garden maintenance room. No. tbeta-34, no. tbeta-35 has been destroyed. Confirm that the soul core program of No. snova-21 is inconsistent and apply for destruction permission."

"Authorization is issued, the destruction operation begins, and the attack begins."

The transmission permissions of soul puppets only take a moment. No matter how complicated the information is, it is many times faster than that of humans. At the moment when the attack begins, they have already raised the ray generator in their hands, and the lens ports begin to turn red and hot rapidly.

However, a black shadow crossed the space and rushed past at a speed that even the machinery could not react, and then hit the soul puppet on the left.

Boom!

The huge impact force immediately destroyed the chest armor of the puppet and even floated it in the air. At the same time, a large amount of energy in the soul core of the puppet's chest overflowed. With the electromagnetic flickering, a violent explosion produced a powerful silver-blue energy flow in the air. Mixed with high-heat shock waves, echoing in the small corridor, producing a roar that surpassed thunder.

At this time, you can see the true body of the black shadow: it is a distorted ray generator. The holder did not choose to use it, but threw it out as a "weapon".

Even the soul puppet could not aim under such circumstances. The only remaining soul puppet quickly adjusted its observation window and balancer in the explosion, but before it could roll sideways according to the combat procedure and conduct the second round of attacks, a tall and burly figure had already appeared in front of it.

The black and red painted mechanical structure raised its hand and shook the shock wave brought by the explosion. Joshua turned slightly and avoided a golden-red furnace ray. The ray fell on the ceiling of the corridor and melted into a hole. The golden-red liquid flowed at the edge of the hole, dripping lava and steel.

Joshua was unmoved. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed the soul puppet's right hand, then crushed the ray generator in the other party's hand. The next moment, the warrior raised his right hand, and the soul puppet's head was pulled out of his body. The electric sparks and silver-blue soul energy flashed at the wound on his neck.

Joshua grabbed the puppet's headless shoulder with one hand, and then removed the other's limbs during the opponent's resistance, and his movements were smooth and neat, as if he had dismantled them countless times.

Through self-transformation, the warriors have long been very familiar with the structure of soul puppets.

Putting the puppet that was powerless to continue moving on the ground, Joshua half-squatted, and he stretched out his index finger. The fingers made of black metal changed like liquid, turning into a sharp silver blade. He used the blade to cut across the puppet's chest armor, and he saw a soul core flashing with silver-blue light.

It was a silver-blue flame placed in a hexagonal translucent prism. It seemed to be burning and pulsing, like the heart. The soul core used the energy absorption device provided by the soul puppet to transfer the collected energy to the whole body. At the same time, it was also the control center of the entire puppet. Qiao Xiuya stretched out his hand, took out the soul core, and then observed it carefully for a while.

"Beautiful, perfect, this means of transformation and control is simply art...not to mention these programs engraved in the soul."

He exclaimed softly, then shook his head and shattered the hexagonal prism. The silver-blue soul fire floated out of it and slowly dissipated in the air. Joshua stood up and walked towards the end of the corridor that had trapped the nameless technician for twenty years. There was light in front and the garden in front.

He walked out.

With his back facing the corridor exit full of explosion marks and stepping on the white tiled avenue, Joshua raised his head, and the red observation mouth flashed with light. He glanced at everything around him. The warriors who had seen all the big scenes thought they would not be affected by anything.

But he was wrong.

The burly construct observed the unstable light flashing in his mouth, which meant his mood was fluctuating.
Chapter completed!
