Return to Xingtian

The moment the white shadow was about to close its eyes, Yu Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted!

That's right.

If he himself wasn't willing to prove that Xing Tian was a living mecha, then how could he expect others not to treat it as a war machine?

The space where the white shadow and Yu Xiao were located changed once again, but this time, the change was more violent.

Crack!

As the first crack appeared out of thin air in the sky outside the window, countless shattering sounds followed one after another.

The entire space was like a shattered mirror, turning into scattered starlight and dust before his eyes.

The two finally stood in a pure white space.

When Yu Xiao opened his eyes again, his pupils had returned to normal.

"Did I... fall asleep?" Yu Xiao rubbed his temples hard. He felt like he had a very, very long dream, but in the dream, he was completely out of his control, completely enveloped by negative emotions.

"You didn't fall asleep."

The sudden voice made Yu Xiao tremble all over!

"White Shadow? What are you doing here? No... where are we?" The moment he saw the white shadow, Yu Xiao's blurry dream suddenly became clear, remembering every detail!

"You weren't dreaming, you just had a severe 'Chasing Little Rabbit' symptom, to the point of losing yourself." The white shadow explained with unusual patience, "We should still be in your consciousness space right now."

"So... I killed you while chasing Little Rabbit?" Yu Xiao subconsciously swallowed.

"If you had killed me, I wouldn't be standing here." The white shadow's eyelids drooped slightly. "But my actions should not be forgiven."

"You... you did that to me on purpose before, you wanted revenge." He vaguely remembered flipping through the white shadow's memories at the last moment, but perhaps because they weren't his memories, he couldn't remember clearly.

Combined with the malice he felt from the white shadow towards Xing Tian during their neural synchronization, perhaps everything made sense.

"Did I ever hurt you?" Yu Xiao finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

The white shadow's gaze towards Xing Tian became extremely complex.

"You didn't hurt anyone, it was me who kept running away..." In the end, the white shadow only gave this answer.

"Then snap out of it!"

The white shadow suddenly looked up, surprised to see Yu Xiao.

"No matter what, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. Moreover, you're no longer that cold machine. I'm sorry." She wanted to explain something, but her throat was blocked by self-blame and guilt, leaving only an apology.

"We've tormented each other, so if you feel like you owe me something, tell me when I've decided on the terms." Yu Xiao deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone.

Although he wasn't a saint, he had more important things to do than take revenge on this girl in front of him.

"By the way, why did you suddenly synchronize with me? Didn't I die?"

"Don't you know what's happening outside?" The white shadow hadn't expected Yu Xiao to ask this question.

Yu Xiao shook his head, because he really didn't know.

"That's right, you've been in the 'Chasing Little Rabbit' state the whole time." The white shadow realized, "But can't you sense it? Your power core is absorbing the energy of the entire base. If this continues, Xuanse Cangqiong and Zhenhai City will be in danger!"

What the hell, my power core has arrived?

Yu Xiao remembered that he had been appearing as Xing Tian during the 'Chasing Little Rabbit' state, and at that time, Xing Tian did have a black power core on its chest.

He could be 100% sure that this black power core was not Xing Tian's original equipment, because he clearly remembered the feeling that power core gave him—that sense of crushing everything, of omnipotence!

But now, let alone the power core, Yu Xiao couldn't even feel the connection between himself and Xing Tian.

If it weren't for the white shadow who was still neurally synchronized with him, Yu Xiao would have suspected that he had already embarked on his next interdimensional journey!

"I can't sense my power core." Yu Xiao decided to tell the truth.

"You can't sense it?" The white shadow was even more surprised than Yu Xiao, "But it's clearly operating within your body right now!"

"I'm not lying to you, I really can't feel it."

Ever since Xing Tian's power core had extinguished, Yu Xiao had felt like he was in a deep sleep, until a mysterious energy awakened him, and his consciousness had been in a dazed state ever since.

"But you said that power core was yours." The white shadow's expression was both anxious and confused, "If even you can't control it, how can we stop it..."

"Do you trust me?" Yu Xiao's expression became very serious.

The white shadow nodded without hesitation.

"Then wait for me for two minutes." Although Yu Xiao knew that every second they wasted now would plunge the outside world into greater crisis, he had to figure out the whole story first.

"Okay." The white shadow readily agreed to Yu Xiao's request. "Is there anything else I need to do?"

"No, just wait for me."

After speaking, Yu Xiao closed his eyes.

[Mecha Soul Login Successful. Welcome to the Evolution System]
[Retrieving Mecha Log...]

In less than a minute, Yu Xiao had browsed through everything that had happened outside from the moment he lost consciousness until he was awakened by the white shadow.

The key to the problem lay in his current mecha state.

[Due to severe damage to the unit, the mech-soul protection mechanism has been triggered. The system has temporarily severed your sensory link with the unit.]

Precisely because he lost the sensory link with the unit, it operated autonomously using the attached intelligent system after the power core was automatically installed.

Due to the Red Hurricane and Dr. Chris's cutting experiments, the intelligent system directly identified the Black Firmament base as a hostile unit. This was also the main source of his hatred and rage during "Chasing Little Rabbit," as this hostile judgment had infiltrated his subconscious.

[Methods to re-establish the link are: 1. The system will automatically restore the sensory link when it detects your unit's integrity is above 50%. 2. The sensory link will be automatically restored when any external link attempt with your identification characteristics accesses the unit.]

The first method was definitely too late. The entire power system of the Black Firmament was currently in a semi-paralyzed state, and all the installation equipment capable of repairing Xing Tian had been shut down along with it.

The second method was clearly only triggerable when the mech-soul possessed multiple units. The mech-soul's sole container was the mecha; once separated from the mecha, the mech-soul could survive in other digital storage devices for at most five minutes.

And this five minutes was the upper limit. The smaller the data capacity of the storage device, the shorter the mech-soul's survival time.

"I have a way," Yu Xiao opened his eyes. "But it's very risky for both of us."

"What way?" Bai Ying feared risk the least.

"Does your neural synchronization device have data storage?"

"It has an exchanger for neural electrical signals, but its capacity is only 5T," Bai Ying immediately thought of the small device on the back of his helmet.

5T...

Yu Xiao's consciousness could only survive within it for 10 seconds.
