Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 220 Bai Yuekui: I can defeat it

"For ASH?" Bai Yuetian looked puzzled.

"Wasn't Ash always on the lighthouse? Why did it have to fall now, right when we came?"

Bai Yuetian said confidently, "So I think it manipulated the lighthouse to crash in order to kill us!"

Bai Yuekui stared at Bai Yuetian for two seconds.

After a long pause, she sighed softly, "Just like I remember."

"Huh?" Bai Yuetian tilted his head.

Bai Yuekui slowly spoke: "Many years ago, I jumped off the lighthouse once. The giant brain knew that falling from the tower wouldn't kill me. As for the others on the tower, just like you said, if the giant brain wanted to harm them, it would have done so long ago."

Bai Yuekui recalled what the Cloto System looked like.

She said softly, "The Abyss Walker won't be damaged by a fall from this height, so it can only be for the sake of ASH."

“He is afraid that I will extract ASH.”

Hearing this, Bai Yuetian finally caught up with Bai Yuekui's rhythm.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "So that's how it is. Are you really going to leave the Abyssbreaker to Charles? Charles is Morgan's son. If he wears the Abyssbreaker, won't he seek revenge on us?"

Bai Yuekui shook his head.

“Morgan is not dead,” she replied.

Bai Yuetian was stunned for a moment.

“The land is not only home to Dragonbone Village, but also to other human settlements. They noticed the Lighthouse when it first arrived on this continent.”

Bai Yuekui continued, "The ground settlements have lost the technology of the old world, while the travelers of the Lighthouse are all elders who have accumulated technology. They are rare treasures to the ground settlements, and they will be divided up as soon as they land."

Morgan has already been taken away.

"He is the former lord of the lighthouse, and the settlement on the ground will treat him well."

Bai Yuetian was puzzled again.

He asked, "Since Morgan isn't going to die, why send him on this long journey? Isn't that..."

"Is it like taking off your pants to fart?" Bai Yuekui glanced at him sideways.

Bai Yuetian chuckled twice.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand this younger sister.

Decades have completely changed the people in his memory. Bai Yuekui's every move is full of profound meaning, making him unable to figure him out.

“People are often imprisoned by their past selves, and at this time they need external forces to help them break free of their shackles and rebuild themselves.” Bai Yuekui paused for a moment. “It’s not just Morgan, but the others on the Lighthouse are the same.”

"I see," Bai Yuetian said, scratching his head.

He seemed to understand.

"But I still feel it's not right to hand the Abyss Overlord over to Charles. That guy doesn't seem reliable at all!"

Bai Yuekui waved his hand.

She replied, "Only when he has something more to fear than death will he have the courage to try to be on the edge of the abyss, and if he has that kind of awareness, he will definitely become our helper in fighting against the ecosystem."

"Really?" Bai Yuetian was still skeptical. "But what if he's just a stubborn person who insists on dealing with us first?"

He spent a long time at the lighthouse, so he has the right to speak on the matter.

Charles—he really has something wrong with his head!
Bai Yuekui said calmly, "We are enemies of the ecosystem. There is something inside Charles. If he wants to help the ecosystem fight against us, that thing will not approve of him. He will not be able to wear the Abyss Walker armor, and he may not even be able to save his life."

Bai Yuetian was a little confused: "Huh?"

He couldn't keep up with Bai Yuekui again.

What do you mean by "there's something inside Charles's body"?
"Most importantly—"

Bai Yuekui raised her head, a strange light shining in her eyes. She slowed her speech and said, "The Abyss Walker wasn't someone I picked up off the street." "I can defeat it."

Bai Yuetian was slightly taken aback.

So, true confidence comes from strength.
The hovercar landed on the outer platform of the lighthouse, from where they had just jumped out.

At that moment, Mark walked over.

He had a bruise near his eye, which looked like he had hit something in the accident, but there were no other obvious injuries.

Mark's physique was superior to that of ordinary people, which protected him well.

"Feel sorry."

Mark said worriedly, "I didn't expect this to happen. An engine stall in the air is something that has never happened in the Lighthouse for decades. Fortunately, Jingnan has brought the situation under control."

Just a few dozen meters away, the lighthouse and the people on it would have been smashed to pieces.

"Are you alright?" he asked with concern.

He was a little surprised.

At the critical moment, Bai Yuekui was able to react in time, dragging Bai Yuetian to jump off the tower, and then they returned safely.

Bai Yuetian looked down at himself.

To be honest, there wasn't a speck of dust on him.

“It’s not entirely your fault.” Bai Yuetian glanced at Bai Yuekui. “It’s because we wanted to extract the super artificial intelligence ASH from the Kloto system, which aroused the giant brain, and it wanted to smash itself and ASH together.”

Mark was stunned.

The Kloto system already looked very strange, and Bai Yuetian's description made that strangeness even more intense.

"You can investigate. It seems the Kloto system issued some instructions that forcibly shut down the lighthouse's engine," Bai Yuekui said casually.

Mark gave a wry smile: "I'll investigate."

"Lord Morgan told me that the Kloto system had been dormant for decades. The old lord and he had tried many methods to restart it, but to no avail. They never expected it to be restarted so suddenly today, and that such a big accident would happen."

Bai Yuekui said calmly, "The Kloto system is essentially a product of the delicate balance achieved between the giant brain and ASH."

“I came to the Lighthouse once before, trying to extract ASH from the Kloto system. But I gave up halfway because of Gray’s obstruction. Not only did I fail to extract it, but I also broke the balance inside the Kloto system.”

Mark was stunned.

These were things Morgan didn't tell him.

"It's conceivable that the giant brain took over after that, shut down the Klotor system, and stopped providing any assistance to humanity."

Bai Yuekui continued, "But the giant brain has always been active in the Mana ecosystem. It manipulates the reproduction of Mana flowers and also influences the distribution of Devouring Beasts on a macro level."

“But it only has half a brain,” Mark said hesitantly.

Bai Yuekui nodded: "It does indeed only have half a brain, but this half brain contains more neurons than the total number of 10,000 healthy human brains. Moreover, due to the special biotechnology of Mana Ecology, the functions that these neurons can perform are completely immeasurable. It can even affect space."

Even in space, Master Lai needs to drink alcohol to suppress the noise in his ears.

"It will affect space?" Mark was speechless.

This is too exaggerated.

If that's the case, then the lighthouse has actually been supporting the head of the Mana ecosystem all along?

Mark couldn't help but ask, "If we destroy this giant brain, won't the Mana ecosystem fall apart?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Yuekui frowned.

"Are you stupid, Mark!" Bai Yuetian retorted.

"It's already prepared to perish together with the lighthouse, so it must have a backup plan!"
