Chapter 402: Cyber Miss Struck by the M Fist
And almost at the very moment White Night led him away and vanished, Lynn’s heart suddenly pounded like a powerful engine, yanking his consciousness back and cooling him instantly into a still, icy calm.
He seized that chance.
In that ultimate thousandth of a second, he threw his left punch.
One strike aimed straight at the face of that Mechanical Girl.
But her speed and reflexes were too fast.
Even under a punch thrown from almost point-blank range, she still leaned back with no expression, Lynn’s fist barely grazing past her face.
A gale swept through.
But Lynn was Lynn.
At the instant that punch seemed destined to miss, Lynn’s two fingers moved at light speed and pinched, instantly grabbing a wisp of her flying hair.
In that instant.He unleashed the M Fist!
A raging vortex surged along that strand of hair and violently swept across the Mechanical Girl’s whole body.
All the pain she had just inflicted on him with that slash was immediately vented out by Lynn with the power of the M Fist, poured back in one forceful rush.
Hum—
The Mechanical Girl’s pupils instantly dilated.
…
Tens of kilometers away.
White Night and Lynn’s bodies abruptly reappeared.
The moment the phasing cleared, the shoulder Lynn had lost erupted like a sprinkler, blood gushing out wildly.
“How are you?” White Night frowned, immediately moving to staunch the bleeding.
“It was my oversight. There’s too little data on that new model, I couldn’t figure out her rank. I’ll treat you right away!”
Lynn extended a hand, inhaled, glanced at his wildly bleeding right shoulder, waved his hand and said:
“It’s fine. A little extra bleeding is good for your health, no big deal.”
Lynn squeezed his eyes shut painfully, convulsing as he raised his shoulder and activated his Flesh Calamity.
Whoosh—
Under White Night’s astonished gaze, pale bone sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed immediately by crimson vessels and abundant tender flesh, little by little growing over the white bone.
In less than a minute, Lynn’s right side was restored to normal.
He cracked his knuckles, moved his new arm and fingers, and said fiercely:
“My clothes are ruined! That rare uniform I just got, not even half a month old!!”
White Night: “…”
He had forgotten.
Lynn, this guy, walked the path of the flesh domain.
For him, a severed arm or hand was the same as someone else nicking a fingertip; for beings like him, it posed no real problem.
Many followers of the Flesh and Blood Cult were even too lazy to wear clothes.
He only hoped that after Lynn fought more, he wouldn’t get lazy and, like the cultists, run naked onto the battlefield…
Although that would indeed save money.
Lynn turned his head sternly, raised his left hand, and with a scowling look said:
“Zuo Zuo, see that? If you don’t behave from now on, that’s what will happen to Right Right. See how high he flew just now? Scared?”
Zuo Zuo: “(눈‸눈)”
White Night helped Lynn up, complicated by concern, “Anyway, it’s good you’re alright. If we get another chance against that mechanical unit, I’ll tear off one of her arms too and help you reclaim the field.”
But at that moment the situation wouldn’t allow it.
If the large mechanical cluster behind her reacted, their exit might be difficult.
Lynn adjusted his monocle, lifted his hand, revealed the two hairs he had ripped out, and said seriously:
“It’s fine. Although she slashed me, I made her pay a heavy price too. The negative effect she’s suffering is definitely much larger than mine. If I’m right, she’s probably screaming like crazy right now!”
…
At the same time.
In the corner of the city where they had vanished.
Clang—
The monomolecular blade, flashing with gleaming light, fell to the ground.
The pale, wholly mechanical-structured girl knelt on one knee, both hands gripping her hair tightly, the data streams in her eyes twitching and flickering in chaotic light as if suffering enormous, unimaginable interference.
“Adaptive protocol initiating—current progress: 0%—adaptive system restarting—current progress: 0%”
“Warning—consciousness subject to strong unknown influence—calculating—calculation complete—current duration: 3 hours 01 minutes”
“Searching database—warning—no database matches—immediately begin abnormal interference analysis and decryption—”
Wave after wave.
Beat after beat.
That peculiar sensation she had never experienced before washed and battered her consciousness like a flood.
Like a virus, like interference, but also like neither.
Just a very, very strange special feeling!
“Ah…”
She trembled and let out an odd, indescribable low moan.
Gritting her teeth, she immediately shut down her information sync, clamping her hands to her skull and trembling all over as she tried to decrypt that abnormal interference.
But it was useless.
And it grew stronger and more assaulting.
It felt like something had violently raped her consciousness!
Once her information sync link was severed,
the dense mechanical cluster reacted instantly, rushing rapidly around her and encircling her in the center.
A large number of mechanical units quickly deployed scanners, conducting comprehensive scans on her.
“Sir—You have severed data sync—according to Wartime Directive Article Three—we have authority to inquire into your specific reasons.”
A synthesized mechanical voice issued from one robotic humanoid body.
A mechanically distorted female synthetic voice came from inside the Mechanical Girl as she clutched her head.
“Subject to unknown abnormal interference—adaptive failure—attempting source decryption—insufficient computing power—progress slow—”
The robotic humanoid’s green light flickered and said:
“Please restore data sync—You may utilize our computing power reserves for decryption—according to Hive wartime directives—data sync may not be terminated unilaterally—”
The Mechanical Girl’s voice crackled with noise, “Risk of abnormalities—data sync presents high risk—”
The robotic humanoid responded mechanically, “Please restore data sync immediately—Sir—orders must not be defied.”
The Mechanical Girl paused for a moment, then green data streams flashed in her eyes and she instantly re-established information sync with all mechanical units present.
In an instant, the interference brought by the M Fist was shared via the information sync with every mechanical unit on site.
The robotic humanoid froze, then its screen instantly turned from green to red.
“Ah—”
It emitted a strange sound, its mechanical body shuddering violently.
“…”
After a short silence.
The green lights on surrounding units’ screens switched to red one after another; with every propagation, their mechanical bodies gave a violent shudder, emitting odd sounds from within.
“Ah!”
“Ah-ah-ah!”
For a time, from an aerial view, the dense mechanical cluster as a whole had turned into a strange red.
The weird mechanical cries of “ah-ah-ah” rose and fell, sounding in succession across the entire street.
