My future is invincible?

Chapter 295 Self-Disciplined Squid
Lan Yi never expected her luck to be so good.

Because of a traffic accident, something unknown was suddenly knocked out of this cold and desolate steel tomb. After drawing a beautiful arc in the shadowy air, it crashed to the ground far away. It was clearly a squid-shaped object, and the impact splattered a string of sparks like blood.

What it is?
Whatever it is, it's definitely not a living thing.

Lan Yi pulled himself out from a pile of curled, red-hot metal. After constructing a plasma propulsion model around himself, he launched himself into the fire in just a few seconds, like a giant steel bird.

In this eternal, vast, cold, and deathly silence.

Lan Yi's whooshing sound undoubtedly shattered the suffocating and despairing silence.

The loud noise it produced.

The impact slammed into the surface of the giant steel, causing the columnar or tree-like steel bars to buzz and vibrate. Although most of the persistent sonic vibrations were swallowed up by the hollow and immeasurably thick steel, which was tens of kilometers thick, many more still echoed in the space.

It's like an old thing struggling to hiss.

The object that crashed to the ground, failing to break through the armor but only leaving a few scratches, was a squid, a mechanical squid about five meters long and two meters wide at the head.

After being pushed out.

The mechanical squid's appearance was clearly damaged; most of its mechanical tentacles were destroyed, while the main body was relatively intact. It was unknown how long it had been buried in steel, but apart from being slightly aged, it looked almost identical to a normal android.

This is a self-regulating intelligent machine.

Based on the memory information of silicon.

Such self-disciplined squids are considered repairers in the real world. They often appear in groups to repair damaged areas within megastructures and restore them to their original state.

What's interesting is that, whether it's a silicon-based object or a android, if it gets injured and there's an autonomous squid nearby, all it has to do is lie down on the ground, and the autonomous squid will come running over to repair the injury. It's like a free mobile blood pack.

And it often appears alongside the self-disciplined squid.

It is the self-disciplined Titan.

Despite its imposing name and appearance resembling a hybrid of a tentacle monster and a gorilla, the Autonomous Titan is actually an engineered machine specifically designed for construction and printing. It was a favorite tool of humans in the past for creating monumental art structures.

Perhaps I should fix this self-disciplined squid.

Lan Yi found an idea.

Aside from psychic cultivators, other thought entities returning to the real world should need to reprint their bodies. They can try their luck with the self-regulating squid, so that even if they can't find anyone else in the real world, they can try to find traces of other life forms.

"Come, let me see why you were buried here."

Lan Yi, who temporarily took on the role of a repairman, drew the self-disciplined squid into his own magnetic field.

Probes made of [Azure Bloom] were inserted into various parts of it, mainly to explore its energy-related issues. Materials and energy could be sourced locally, and under the refinement of the magnetic field, they began to transform into liquid filaments that slowly flowed in, patching it up.

Meanwhile, the chip area at its head.

Lan Yi invaded the site without any hindrance.

With a flash of pale light, a series of images immediately appeared in front of Lan Yi. The image quality was so blurry that it gave Lan Laomo a disorienting feeling of being back in the 21st century watching porn.

However, the scene in the video quickly caught Lan Yi's attention.

This self-disciplined squid... was actually buried here after being besieged because of a woman.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a woman, but a slender, somewhat demonic yet angelic creature with a ring of egg-shaped silicon covering its body. This silicon creature was exceptionally delicate, with a face nearly indistinguishable from a human's, featuring silver hair and eerie blue mechanical eyes. Its relationship with this autonomous squid was quite intriguing.

The autonomous squid, an intelligent machine, actually broke away from its original group after seeing the silicon object and began to follow and protect it.

Silicon is being hunted down.

The force hunting it down is not an android, but... the embodiment of the Holy Spirit in the real world, mechanical organs sealed in transparent crystal coffins.

Why is this silicon being hunted down by the Holy Spirit?

With these questions in mind, while repairing the self-regulating squid, Lan also conducted a more thorough review of its stored images to find the cause.

But it's a great pity.

The self-regulating squid's "lust at first sight" seems to have no reason at all; it's as if it suddenly awakened and followed along.

'Perhaps it's this silicon material that's at work.'

Lan Yi, having made her guess, continued looking down.

The Reality Layer, due to its vast emptiness, is characterized by extreme loneliness and oppression. For months at a time, the Autonomous Squid stays near the Angel Silicon, with no communication or interaction between them. On rare occasions when they do interact, the Angel Silicon will sit inexplicably in the desolate world, lost in thought, and the Autonomous Squid will begin collecting superimposed matter, carefully handing it over to the Angel Silicon.

To be honest.

This scene looks somewhat ridiculous.

But as time goes on, watching these two individuals together amidst that oppressive loneliness evokes a strangely touching emotion. From a human perspective, it's moving; as for the individuals themselves, that's another story.

Aside from such a monotonous scene.

Occasionally, battles also occur.

Once the mechanical organs sealed in the crystal coffin tracked down the angelic silicon, they would emerge from all sorts of incredible angles, manipulating the energy flying everywhere to bombard it relentlessly. Such bombardment would be on the level of orbital bombardment even in the main world!

The self-regulating squid was blown apart during a bombing while protecting the angel silicon, and then crashed to the ground.

The angelic silicon escaped and its whereabouts are unknown.

But it was left in the same place forever.

The incarnations of the Holy Spirits who were hunting it down didn't even glance at it. They simply grabbed it, extracted the stored information from it, and then left it there to die.

This is somewhat like a simp getting beaten and crippled while trying to protect his goddess, and then the enemy doesn't even bother to give the simp a second glance.

The self-disciplined squid that was left in place did not die.

However, because it was not repaired for a long time, it was gradually buried by the moving megastructure. A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and it eventually sank to a position more than ten meters below the surface.

Although its life as a simp was a failure, the self-regulating squid still provided Lan Yi with a very interesting piece of information. During the information extraction process, the conversation between the Holy Spirit incarnations mentioned... the concept of a true human.
