Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

The lights were not turned off, and even the outer defense system was still operating normally.

Everything seemed normal.

There was no survey ship in the distance that the company had mentioned. Although there was a possibility of it entering the Ark, it was unlikely.

Jiang Jiu was silent for two seconds: "Something seems off."

Black Tower stood beside him, also gazing at the celestial ship, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It seems a little too quiet."

Yes, it's too quiet.

It wasn't the kind of silence that was completely still, but rather a silence that was almost deathly quiet. No communication signals could be received within the system, there were no signs of life, and no trace of any activity that should have been present.

"Wait a minute... why is there no sign of life?"

"Whether it's Chiming, Ruan Mei, or even a boatload of insects... how can there be absolutely no sign of life?"

Black Tower shifted his arms, looked at the scene before him for a while, and shook his head.

"Could it be... that they're all dead?"

"Did Fanghu kill himself?"

Chapter 201 The Genius's Strictest Mother

Hei Ta and Jiang Jiu exchanged a glance and tacitly drew their respective weapons.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Moreover, it can no longer be considered abnormal; it's practically bizarre now.

If this weren't the Ironclad World and not the Strange World... oh wait, no.

This could also be it.

The world is full of wonders, and there are countless strange and wonderful things to find in iron.

The two passed through the defensive barrier and stepped onto the square pot with great ease.

The streets were deserted.

It looked even emptier than the fairy boat that had been cleaned by the storm.

The shop doors were open, the goods inside were neatly arranged, and the lanterns on the street corner were still swaying gently...

But there was no one.

There wasn't a single person there.

Has it become a ghost town?

Jiang Jiu, chin in hand, curiously strolled around the Fanghu Immortal Boat.

Black Tower was also puzzled: "I thought the Immortal Ship would take the initiative to help Ruan Mei do something, but no matter what it is, it shouldn't be necessary to take a ride on an Immortal Ship."

"There must be other problems."

Jiang Jiu clicked his tongue: "Was Fang Hu's Chiming kidnapped or had his brain ripped out? How dare they let Ruan Mei, this menace, in? Aren't they afraid of death?"

"It's hard to say whether it was voluntary or not," Black Tower said.

After all, Ruan Mei... the things she can do and the trouble she can cause are probably much more complicated than imagined.

She walked to the door of a shop, reached out and picked up an account book from the counter, and casually flipped through it.

The last transaction was recorded three days ago.

In other words, about three days ago, everything here was probably normal.

"Jiang Jiu," she suddenly spoke.

Jiang Jiu walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hei Ta handed him the ledger, pointing to a page: "Look at this."

Jiang Jiu looked down and saw a line of small characters on the ledger, which looked like it was written casually, or like a distress signal. It was a line of blood-red characters.

"She's here...we have nowhere to run."

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment, then looked up and met Black Tower's gaze.

The next second, the two of them turned around almost simultaneously!

A sharp killing intent suddenly came from behind!

Jiang Jiu reacted extremely quickly, turning his body to the side, while the power of nothingness condensed into a temporary barrier in front of him.

A brief illusion of being controlled flashed through Jiang Jiu's mind. The attack bypassed his barrier and began to track him. He frowned slightly, then gripped the Lonely Star Sword in his backhand and shattered the attack.

Before the next attack arrived, a purple light exploded in front of him!

boom......!!!

Black Tower stood beside him, his scepter held horizontally in front of him. The scepter collided with the invisible killing intent, bursting out with dazzling light.

Her long hair flew wildly in the energy surge, and her purple eyes held an unprecedented chill.

“You cowardly fellow,” her voice was cold, “whoever wants to mess with me, did they even ask me?”

Not far away, a figure slowly emerged.

That's a woman.

The newcomer was dressed in a candy-colored evening gown and held a scalpel in his hand. The blade gleamed coldly under the streetlights, giving him an elegant yet dangerous air.

Although they had never met before, Jiang Jiu and Hei Ta guessed each other's identities after just one glance.

Genius Club #4, Polka Kakamu.

That is, the Silent Lord.

Jiang Jiu narrowed his eyes and gripped the Lonely Star Sword tightly. The Black Tower's scepter was held horizontally in front of him, its purple light not yet completely dissipated.

This area is probably enveloped by the omniscient domain of Polka Kaka.

The feeling of being seen through only lasted for a moment, indicating that she had miscalculated her thoughts. After reaching this conclusion, Jiang Jiu was left with only pure curiosity about the person in front of her.

“Good response.” Polka Kaka said, twirling her scalpel between her fingers before she slipped it back into her sleeve.

There is no intention to continue the attack.

Black Tower remained vigilant, coldly staring at her: "Genius Club #4, the Silent Lord, has graced us with your presence just to launch a sneak attack?"

"A sneak attack?" Polka tilted his head slightly, his delicate face revealing no emotion. "I just said hello."

She looked at Jiang Jiu with a calm gaze, as if she were looking at an object.

"If you can withstand one of my attacks, you're at least not a piece of trash."

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Jiu chuckled softly, "What are you doing here?"

Polka Kaka did not answer immediately.

She turned around and looked at the empty streets of Fanghu, her gaze sweeping over the open shops, the extinguished lights, and the deserted corners.

"I came to see you and brought you some things."

Black Tower frowned: "What is that?"

Polka waved his hand, and a box was thrown over.

Jiang Jiu reached out and caught it. Without opening it, he knew what was inside just by sensing it.

A small portion of the reproductive remains.

Jiang Jiu looked up at Polka Kakamu: "Oh? So... Ruan Mei is dead?"

Polka looked at him, his eyes expressionless, calmly stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

"She's dead. Her research crossed the singularity of knowledge."

"So she deserves to die."

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

Polka Kakamu continued, "I cleaned up all the tricks she left behind, including this one."

She pointed to the square pot at her feet.

“The Vidyadharas hid her, provided her with experimental materials, and concealed her whereabouts. I gave them a choice, but unfortunately, they didn’t choose correctly.”

Jiang Jiu looked at the empty streets around him and understood.

Not a single person from the entire immortal ship remained.

"Well done," Jiang Jiu said sincerely, "You saved me a lot of trouble."

“You’re welcome. Do you want to know what she did?” Polka asked.

Jiang Jiu looked at her, shook his head, and directly refused, saying, "I don't want to know."

"Here, she recreates some characteristics of reproduction in order to deconstruct life, attempt to regulate 'balance,' and reproduce 'immortality.'"

"The Vidyadharas helped her because she promised to help them solve the problem of reproduction."

"She did solve it."

"However, the price was that all the Chiming who helped her with the experiments became materials for her to reproduce and breed."

Jiang Jiu remained silent. So, does that mean he has to listen no matter what?

"What she did is none of my business, and crossing the singularity of knowledge is also none of my concern. She was killed, so why say so much?"

Jiang Jiu was too lazy to listen anymore.

Polka looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, paused for two seconds, and then spoke calmly.

"Shi Jin, I've heard of you."

"The Great Lord of Annihilation, the Guardian of Preservation, the One Who Destroyed Himself, who stopped the Iron Tomb, who reappeared Onfaros, and who just had the Hunting Guard personally clean up the gates of the Immortal Ship."

She paused.

"But you have a question."
