Ex-Machina on a Dimensional Journey

Although the girl could not see his expression through the mask, his body language was enough to reveal how he felt.

What surprised her was that Cursed Arm Hassan was clearly "shocked."

No matter what, for a "Hassan" to react so intensely, what Xiu Er had said to him was probably far from ordinary.

Mashu hesitated. She still
