Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 486: It’s That Night Doctor!

But they immediately reacted, realizing this was absolutely the best opportunity for a counterattack. So, after a brief pause of less than two seconds, the flesh and blood creatures inside the city immediately roared and launched their counteroffensive.

Seeing this scene, even the consciousness of the Desire Mother Tree was greatly shaken. Having been observing Lynn all along, she almost instantly understood exactly what was happening.

Because hundreds of years ago.

Before the Mechanical Cult had found a method to counter her attacks, she had also frequently used such means to deal heavy blows to the Mechanical Cult in one large-scale battle after another.

But ever since the Mechanical Cult found a way to guard against her interference, this kind of large-scale assault could no longer be carried out.

At this moment, her consciousness grew urgent.

"He actually…"

Her gaze towards Lynn also changed.

If before it was merely curiosity, now it had become very interested.

…"Warning—Warning—Hive intelligence has suffered an abnormal strike—Emergency response measures activated—Information Sync shut down—"

"Emergency isolation measures initiated—Information Sync with Silver Fantasy forcibly terminated—Radio signal link established—"

With the emergency activation of the Hive's response mechanism and the shutdown of Information Sync, this terrifying shock that had nearly caused city-wide chaos was immediately cut off from sharing with other mechanical swarms.

Thereby avoiding greater losses.

And from this, one could also see the high efficiency and rapid response of the Mechanical Cult.

It was like being forcefully hit the first time, then decisively and swiftly drawing a sword to sever it, thus avoiding the potential for continuous, subsequent impacts.

But even so, under the sudden, unprepared, and unresisted desire shock, the Hive Intelligence Core still suffered a massive impact.

Because most of its current computing power was dedicated to the battle against the Flesh and Blood Cult.

For the Hive's self-consciousness, this damage was extremely severe.

And this sudden, enormous change immediately alerted the highest echelons of the Mechanical Cult, the Purity Council.

Within the Hive's virtual consciousness space.

That stern voice abruptly descended.

"Hive Three Intelligence Core, report immediately. What exactly happened with the disturbance that just appeared in the battle situation?! What is the status?"

But they did not receive a reply from the Intelligence Core.

"Intelligence Core—respond immediately—"

That voice grew even colder.

And finally.

But no sound came through.

"…"

A deathly silence instantly fell within the Hive.

And in the next moment, a mechanical synthesized voice sounded within the Hive.

"Special wartime directive activated————Forced consciousness isolation has been implemented on it—Intelligent Program a4283 activated—Will temporarily take over the work of the Intelligence Core consciousness—"

"Information collation—Strike impact range is extremely large—Originates from the first Information Sync conducted with 'Silver Fantasy Prototype'—Detected extremely strong curse fluctuations around 'Silver Fantasy'—Target unit suspected to be under duress—"

As the information flow rapidly jumped.

The information flow of the descended Purity Council was greatly shaken.

"Where is she right now?!"

A stern voice suddenly transmitted from within that information flow.

"Monitoring initiated—Target is located in the nuclear fission zone 37 kilometers underground in the Cursed City—Coordinates (42231·42354·41)."

Following the mechanical prompt of that intelligent program, a holographic virtual panel immediately materialized within the Hive.

And the light point displayed on it was precisely Silver Fantasy.

"Immediately force her to initiate consciousness upload! Quickly!"

The voice that rang out from the Purity Council's information flow clearly carried a wave of urgency.

Other consciousnesses might not know her identity, but as the Purity Council, responsible only to the highest Sovereign, no one understood Silver Fantasy's uniqueness better than them!

Because she was different from all the other Mechanical Consciousnesses here!

Losing a Supreme Unit was inconsequential, as it was merely a body. But if her consciousness suffered severe damage, then they would all likely face punishment from the Sovereign.

"Hurry!" That voice grew even more urgent.

"Emergency initiation of forced consciousness upload—Target: Silver Fantasy"

"Upload progress: 0%—"

"Warning—Warning—Target consciousness is under strong constraint by a Root-level curse—Consciousness cannot be uploaded—"

Accompanied by the flash of an intense warning, the Purity Council's information flow was greatly shaken once more.

Root-level curse?!

"How is this possible?!"

What a joke!

Because a Root-level curse does not refer to curses that Root-level entities can wield, but is a collective term for curses capable of constraining Root-level entities!

Could it be she encountered an attack from the Mother Tree?!

No!

Even the Mother Tree herself suffers the invasion and constraint of a curse. How could she possibly wield a curse of the same level to attack them!

"Can we transmit a visual feed back from that region?!" Another wave of urgent agitation stirred within the information flow.

"Analyzing—Strong magnetic and electrical signals have been overridden—Generating target region imagery—"

*Hum—*

In the next moment, within the Hive's virtual space, a massive virtual screen displayed the imagery of that underground region.

And the moment the image formed, they immediately saw that Mechanical Girl, tightly bound by one chain after another.

"Miss Intelligence Machine?!"

Seeing Silver Fantasy suppressed in the footage, all the Mechanical Consciousnesses within the Hive were utterly shocked and pale.

They trembled.

Within that dark, faint light, a pale Raven Mask was revealed.

"That is…"

"That Night Doctor!"

The Mechanical Consciousnesses within the Hive immediately recognized his attire, their expressions drastically changing.

Then they heard that seemingly amused, teasing voice, identical in style to the "great demon lord" from various literary and artistic works.

"Ah, my apologies, esteemed members of the Mechanical Units. I've let you see some unpleasant imagery."

"But Miss Intelligence Machine is having a lot of fun playing here with me. It's been a long time since I've met such a compatible little companion as this young lady, which makes me extremely excited."

He elegantly tipped his hat, gently tapped his temple, the smile in his eyes exceptionally dazzling.
