Drip... drip...
Cold liquid dripped from above.
Within the vast, hollow world.
A pure-white train smashed countless pieces of metal scrap to bits.
Still and silent.
The opposite was true.
Inside the carriage at that moment.
At Ye Qiyan's feet, the little Block Robot was ready to set out.
"I was planning to take you around this company, but seriously, stay safe."
He gently stroked WALL-E's metal head, the earnest look in his eyes entirely genuine.
This was a Level 10 Platform.
Who knew whether an ability like Eris's Anti-Reality Ether Sea might appear, leaving even WALL-E, equipped with Illusory Armor, unable to hide?
"Remember, if anything feels wrong, come back immediately. That's an order."
WALL-E nodded, becoming equally serious.
The treads beneath WALL-E rolled, leaving the train to begin the search.
"Phew... next, then."
Only after WALL-E set out did Ye Qiyan finally turn his gaze outside the train window.
A huge red ring of light spun madly above the train.
On the roof, Eve's Weapon Slots had already unfolded and were aimed overhead.
She had relayed information to her master from the moment they entered this stop.
At that very moment, directly above her.
A giant automaton, bound by countless metal cables and covered in rust, suddenly lit up its red eyes.
[Buzz, buzz... alert, alert, intruder detected. Rockwire Automaton activating. Insufficient energy. Beep, activating reserve energy. Beep, insufficient reserve energy...
Error, unable to activate.
Correction, injecting final-stage energy.]
The Rockwire Automaton, a name that existed in Ye Qiyan's Second Option, had appeared right before him.
The metal cables seemed to become strings in a puppeteer's hands, controlling its descent.
Hunt, coiled around Ye Qiyan's arm, opened its eyes.
There was no need for it to act itself.
Dozens of green gear robots appeared out of thin air.
