[Mismatch...Attributes are not pure...]
[Incompatible... Unable to channel cosmic energy...]
One after another, the trajectory lines flashed by, only to fade away in an instant.
Lin Che could clearly feel that the computational load on the [Eye of Truth] was skyrocketing at an alarming rate. This was far more demanding than any of his previous analyses.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity of waiting, the roaring, surging galaxy of data suddenly came to a standstill!
All the light went out.
Only one coordinate point remained, radiating a blinding, blood-red light on the dark virtual map.
A cold, abyss-like notification sound exploded in Lin Che's mind.
[Target locked: The bent spoon]
Lin Che's pupils suddenly contracted.
A bent spoon? That's just a common item on the market that can slightly amplify superpowers. While rare, it's hardly enough to warrant such massive calculations from the Eye of Truth.
This is not an ordinary curved spoon.
On the system panel, a line of notes appeared that were so detailed they were terrifying.
It was a line of text composed of cold, emotionless characters, yet it recorded a shocking secret.
This item is one of the specially made spoons used by the League twenty years ago during the "Mewtwo" cloning project at the Cinnabar Island laboratory in the Kanto region.
[When Mewtwo awakened and went berserk, this object was distorted by the purest primal telekinetic energy that it unintentionally released. To this day, a trace of Mewtwo's primal power still clings to it!]
Mew-two!
The moment those two words were branded into Lin Che's retina, he felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand, and even his breath stopped for half a second.
That's not a name.
That's a taboo!
It is the darkest and most unpleasant chapter in the history of the Alliance! It is the most thorough and violent revenge of artificial life against its creator!
It's synonymous with the strongest artificial spirit!
In an instant, fragmented records about the disaster twenty years ago, buried in top-secret files, surfaced in Lin Che's mind.
An island was completely erased from the map.
A sudden volcanic eruption concealed all the evil and the truth.
The final target location displayed on the system panel precisely confirmed all his conjectures.
That forbidden island, forgotten by the world, was completely sealed off by the League using its highest authority and erased from all official maps after Mewtwo went berserk 1.9 years ago, triggering a violent volcanic eruption—
Crimson Lotus Island!
Lin Che slowly exhaled a long breath.
The burning sensation in my chest did not subside; instead, it burned even more intensely.
Danger?
Of course it's dangerous! Beneath those ruins lies the anger and lament of the strongest artificial spirit at its birth, and anyone who sets foot there could be torn to pieces by that lingering will.
But what about the rewards?
That was a trace of the original power belonging to "Mewtwo"!
It is the purest and most advanced super-energy source in the world!
For Zhixing, this is not just an evolution tool, it's practically a gift from the gods! It's enough to unleash its full potential completely and without reservation!
Risk and reward are always commensurate.
After a moment of shock, Lin Che's eyes were quickly replaced by an unwavering sharpness and determination.
He didn't hesitate at all.
He immediately opened his encrypted private communicator and sent a brief instruction through a special channel operating in a gray area.
He needs a ticket.
A ticket to the Kanto region, then to be secretly smuggled to Crimson Island by private boat.
The other party replied quickly, with only one word.
"can."
And an accompanying exorbitant figure.
Lin Che completed the transfer without hesitation.
After doing all this, he stood up and looked at the sleeping elf egg on the table again, his eyes filled with unprecedented anticipation.
A brand new journey, fraught with unknowns and dangers, is about to begin!
Chapter 67 A New Companion, Born from Volcanic Ashes! Whispers of the Stars, Loneliness from a Foreign Land!
The sea breeze, carrying the pungent smell of sulfur, rushed towards us.
Lin Che stepped onto the land of Red Lotus Island. The sensation beneath his feet was not solid rock or soft sand, but a thick layer of fine, heart-stopping volcanic ash. Each step was silent, as if the entire world had been muted.
Dead silence.
This was his first impression of Crimson Lotus Island.
There were no birdsong, no insect chirps, and even the sound of waves crashing against the shore seemed distant and dull, as if most of the vitality had been absorbed by this gray carpet.
In the distance, the massive dormant volcano, with its menacing silhouette, stands silently against the gloomy sky, a nightmare of destruction that has haunted this place for twenty years.
Lin Che withdrew his gaze from the volcano, suppressing the urge to immediately head to the laboratory ruins.
His breathing was heavy; several days of rough seas and mental strain had left his body quite exhausted. Venturing into an area marked "forbidden" by the Alliance in this state was hardly a wise move.
He walked along the edge of the island, eventually stopping at a leeward spot surrounded by huge reefs. This spot effectively blocked the sea winds and provided a relatively secluded view.
He took a folding tent out of the side pocket of his backpack and was about to set it up.
Just now.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
A sudden, ear-piercing alarm blared from the backpack behind him!
The sound didn't come from outside, but from the top-of-the-line constant-temperature incubator he carried with him, worth tens of millions of Alliance Coins!
Lin Che's movements froze for a moment, then he immediately reacted, turned around abruptly, took off his backpack, and unzipped it.
19. A blinding crimson light flashed wildly, casting his long shadow, stretched by the setting sun, a blood-red hue. On the incubator's transparent energy panel, the blue light bar representing its internal energy reserves was being visibly drained at an alarming rate!
A strange premonition gripped his heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, he reached in with both hands, carefully lifted the incessantly vibrating incubator, and placed it steadily on the soft volcanic ash beneath his feet.
At this moment, the setting sun on the horizon is slowly sinking into the sea, its last rays as thick as congealed blood, splashing across the gray-white world.
The distant volcano, the nearby reefs, and Lin Che kneeling on the ground were all coated with an ominous crimson gold.
In the center of this eerie backdrop, the mysterious elf egg, entirely black and adorned with countless silver starlight points, is gradually developing fine, scorching golden cracks on its shell!
The golden light did not come from external reflection, but rather from inside the egg, piercing through the thick outer shell and bursting outwards!
Click...
A very faint, yet incredibly clear, cracking sound.
Click... click...
Cracks, like a golden spiderweb, quickly spread across the entire eggshell. The immense energy fluctuations within were no longer suppressed, but transformed into tangible light, bursting forth from the cracks and gently dispersing the surrounding volcanic ash.
finally.
boom!
With a crisp sound, like crystal shattering, the eggshell shattered completely into countless fragments!
A brand new life was exposed to this world that was completely unfamiliar to it.
Its body was a cold, futuristic silver-white, with a metallic sheen that shimmered in the setting sun. Its head was disproportionate to its body, with its massive head taking up most of its body, as if bearing boundless wisdom.
It slowly opened its eyes.
What kind of eyes were those?
There were no pupils, no whites of the eyes; the entire eye socket was filled with pure, dazzling liquid gold, like the condensation of collapsed cosmic stars.
The light flowed, deep and serene.
Shiny Little Gray Monster!
It hovered half a foot above the ground, curiously, or perhaps even calmly, surveying its surroundings. It saw the gray sky, the black volcano, and the young human kneeling before it, staring at it motionless.
Its birth was without any crying or commotion.
Its first action was not to ask for food or seek shelter.
This newly arrived life form merely shook its enormous head slightly.
The next second, a faint yet extremely solid invisible force precisely locked onto a piece of black volcanic rock at Lin Che's feet.
The rock trembled silently, then broke free from gravity and slowly and steadily floated in front of Lin Che, stopping at his eye level.
In this unique way, it greets the partner who awakened it from its slumber for the first time.
Lin Che's heart, which had been taut from the long journey, finally relaxed completely at this moment. A warm current surged from his chest, instantly dispelling his physical fatigue and the oppressive atmosphere of the environment.
He reached out, his movements as gentle as if touching a most precious work of art, and carefully cradled the little creature from the distant starry sea in his arms.
Its body feels slightly cool to the touch, with a metallic texture, but it is not hard; instead, it has a unique flexibility.
Hello, little one.
His voice was soft, carrying a gentleness he himself was unaware of.
