Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Although there was nothing there, he could still sense a vague sense of "danger" from the wind.

"This feeling……"

There is no doubt that this is the same "feeling" that the main body had experienced before, but this time, the feeling is not as strong.

Seeing this, Xiuer checked his body again. After finding that there was nothing wrong, he stepped into the door.

But when he walked through the stone gate and entered the temple, something strange suddenly happened.

boom!

The originally heavy stone door suddenly closed with a dull sound.

The light that originally shone in from outside the door and illuminated the hall was completely cut off by this sudden change. The only light around was the weak light provided by the lantern hanging on the ceiling of the hall.

Such a weak light was not enough to clear away all the darkness. The area near the gate where Xuer was located was shrouded in darkness the moment the gate was closed.

Another gust of cold wind blew.

A biting cold wind blew in from deep inside the temple, brushing against Xuer's body, and the "death energy" that always permeated the surroundings became increasingly dense.

Faced with a scene that looked like a horror movie, Xiuer remained as calm as before.

Ever since he entered the mausoleum, his gaze had been directed towards the deepest part of the hall.

The horrifying scene could not cause any disturbance to the puppet, as its attention was now completely attracted by the vague "black shadow" hidden in the depths.

At this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came from where Xuer was looking.

"I already know your purpose, but your 'destiny' is not yet here. My sword will only strike the 'destined one'."

"but!"

Although the old man's voice was not loud, it made Xiuer feel an inexplicable tremor in his soul.

"Anyone who dares to enter the temple must first face the test of death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely strong sense of crisis suddenly hit him.

The strong feeling of suffocation like being entangled by a python surprised Xuer. This feeling was exactly the same as his previous experience.

The puppet was somewhat surprised to find that his puppet body had once again developed the instincts of a living being!

As the "self" that Emperor Keke brought from other times, the clones also have "souls".

The "fear" of death suddenly filled his heart.

But unlike the shock he felt when he first saw it, at this moment Xiuer was just curious about the changes that had taken place in his body.

Although the soul is trembling, the "convenience" of the puppet body is also fully demonstrated at this moment.

He quickly shut down his control of the body and let the body's system take over.

The trembling of his soul would not affect the calculations of his mechanical brain. In just a moment, he quickly took control of the current situation.

The reason why he could remain so calm was not only because he was just a cannon fodder clone that could die at any time, but also because his body had not received any substantial damage.

This means that this sudden "attack" was just a "test" of the routine process.

This test came suddenly and ended quickly.

Less than ten seconds had passed before the old man withdrew his breath.

"Inquiring, did you pass the test?"

Xiuer, who had taken back control from the body's intelligence, also asked the black shadow at this time.

He had been looking at that place since he came in, and the voice just now came from that black shadow.

As soon as Xuer finished speaking, two balls of dark blue flames suddenly lit up at the center of the black shadow.

Then, there was a sound of friction when armor moved.

Boom--boom--

The dull sound of footsteps also rang out, and the black shadow also moved along with the sound, taking a few steps towards Xuer and coming under the chandelier in the hall.

Suddenly, a burly man holding a heavy sword, wearing a black robe and a skull mask appeared in the eyes of the puppet.

"..."

A pair of golden eyes, shimmering with light, quickly scanned the visitor's body.

Although the other party was wearing a black robe that covered his entire body, Xuel could still see the heavy armor reflecting light under the black robe through the reflection of the light source.

Looking at this equipment, he couldn't help but feel skeptical about the other party's so-called "assassin" figure.

This equipment...are you really an assassin?

"..."

The other party did not speak, and the two dark blue flames hidden under the skeleton hit the puppet directly.

The fact that the reason for his revelation was enough to prove that Xuer had indeed passed the test and had the opportunity to meet the other party.

Xiuer was observing the other person, and the other person was also observing Xiuer.

"..."

Faced with the other party's silence, Xuer also responded in silence.

……

Chapter 59: Exposed

"..."

Both sides remained silent, their eyes, one blue and one gold, glowing faintly in the darkness.

But this scene did not last long. After just a few seconds, the first generation Hassan suddenly narrowed his eyes.

The dark blue "flame" suddenly weakened a bit, and an invisible pressure immediately spread throughout the hall.

"If you insist on trying to peek at my sword, you shouldn't use something 'false' to do it."

The voice of the first generation Hassan was steady and sophisticated, and his words were always putting pressure on the puppet in front of him.

The former's words surprised Xiuer, who had regained his composure, again.

It was immediately apparent that he was not his "real self"!

"I'm confused. How did you find out?"

However, although the plan was discovered, Xuer's clone did not show any other changes except for some unexpected events.

His frosty face always had an indifferent expression.

But the person in front of him did not answer his question.

Boom!

The first generation Hassan suddenly raised the heavy sword in his hand and smashed the tip of the sword on the stone floor in front of him.

The two balls of dark blue "flames" suddenly became brighter, and a terrifying pressure far exceeding the previous one suddenly seeped out from his burly body, surrounding Xuul who was standing in front of him.

"If you wish to witness my swordsmanship, you must treat me with sincerity."

"'Outsider', I don't see your sincerity."

The first generation Hassan's momentum suddenly surged, and the invisible pressure seemed to solidify, causing the puppet to unexpectedly experience some kind of "hallucination".

"?"

He raised his arms blankly.

Although from a sensory perspective, I should be unable to move because of being locked in by its aura, but there is no obstacle in actually moving.

It was as if the person this aura was directed at was not himself who was in this place.

But before he could continue checking.

A golden vortex appeared out of thin air next to the puppet.

"The link has been restored..."

"Notify me, I'm coming over."

"...?"

He looked at the vortex beside him with some surprise.

Because there is no doubt that this "vortex" is the "power" of Xuul, which they "Xul" often use to transfer space to the channel.

The high-concentration dimensional energy contained in it can only be used by Xuer.

But the appearance of this passage means that the main body is preparing to go here.

This was an unexpected situation. The clone, who was not notified, did not know why he suddenly thought of coming here and should have stayed in a safe place to be on the safe side.

Like the doll, the first generation Hassan's attention was also attracted by the sudden vortex.

He could sense an unknown and unidentified energy from it. This energy was extremely corrosive. If it were allowed to leak into the world, it would bring disaster to all living beings in the world.

But when such dangerous energy appeared before his eyes, the first generation Hassan did not take any other action except being a little surprised.

After all, he agreed that he could see that although this energy was extremely threatening, it was being restrained by someone using unknown means and there was no sign of leakage.

clatter--

As a small leg took the first step forward, a blue-purple figure walked out of the vortex.

And the person coming now is none other than Xuer himself.

……

"?"

a few minutes ago--

After the clone flew to the mountains, Xuer chose to stand at the bottom of the mountain and wait.

But only a few minutes passed.

Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure appeared out of nowhere and pressed on the doll's "heart", and the source of this pressure came from a gaze whose source could not be found.

Because of the "counterattack" he encountered in his previous attempt to spy, Xuel, who sent his clone to explore on his behalf this time, did not share the other party's "vision" in real time.

But at this moment, just as Xuer was exaggerating his detection to find the source of the sight, a tall and burly black shadow inexplicably appeared in his "field of vision", and the surrounding mountain scenery was shrouded in a thick black fog in the blink of an eye.

The tall figure, which was like a mountain to Xuer, silently exuded layers of pressure.

Fortunately, the other party did not make any move, but just stared at him with those flaming blue eyes.

It seems that the "sight" came from this black shadow.

The other party was like a "phantom". Apart from the overly weird scene when he first appeared, he gave people a full sense of oppression.

But other than that, there were no other changes.

Apart from staring at Xuer with his eyes, the other party did not even move, like a statue.

Seeing that the opponent did not launch an attack, or even move, Xuer retracted his weapons and began to observe the opponent carefully.

At this moment, the black shadow that had been motionless like a statue suddenly moved.

"I already know your purpose, but hypocrisy lacks sincerity. If you need anything, you must show corresponding sincerity."

The old voice contained great power.

The invisible pressure emanating from the black shadow made Xiuer take it seriously and wait for the next words.

But after saying this, the burly black shadow suddenly turned into a phantom and disappeared from the former's sight.

The endless darkness that enveloped Xuul also retreated with the disappearance of the black shadow.

The surrounding mountain scenery returned, and the puppet's feet once again stepped on the muddy ground in the mountains.

The whole process was like an "illusion", appearing suddenly and disappearing quickly, without even leaving any signs of existence.

But this unexpected experience was obviously not as simple as a "hallucination".

"I'm confused. Were we discovered?"

Because Xiuer did not establish a real-time sharing link with his clone, he did not know the identity of the owner of the voice.

But the "pressure" that was so familiar to Xiuer made him immediately lock on the candidate.
