Belated Rescue

Sure enough, after the Cube appeared, the metal construct froze.

It seemed to have noticed the Cube's existence, but it did not know what the Cube was, so... it crashed.

It simply hovered in midair, trembling slightly, unable to advance or retreat.

At last, it seemed to have made a decision and flew toward the other side of the building, apparently intending to circle around the Cube and head for White Egg Boy.

Does it skip information it can't process? Looks like it really is pretty dumb.

Watching the metal construct's behavior, Mo Ling was somewhat speechless. He had previously guessed that the thing might be some kind of high-tech creation, but now that possibility seemed unlikely.

Mo Ling once again controlled the Cube to block the metal construct's inevitable path, forcing it to change direction.

And so, it moved, and Mo Ling moved with it. Mo Ling moved, and it moved with him...

Just like before, this thing did not learn from experience. It merely repeated its predetermined actions, doing a "two-person dance" with Mo Ling in place for ages, until even Mo Ling grew tired.

Didn't he say someone would come save them if I stalled for time? There was such a huge commotion just now, so why hasn't anyone come yet?

Mo Ling knew his methods of attack were too limited to test that thing's strength, so he had wanted to wait for the "reinforcements" the boy had mentioned. Yet after waiting so long, those reinforcements still had not appeared.

Could that boy have noticed my existence long ago and been lying to me?

There was no point in dragging this out any longer. Mo Ling intended to extend his vision into the white egg and take a look, but just as he was about to do
