Hahaha
The incarnation of thought fell to the ground, the cutting ax blade was covered with gaps of various sizes, and the heavy-duty plate armor on his body was also shattered in the fierce battle.
Not good
He laughed miserably and stood up with difficulty, leaning on the chop ax that was full of holes.
It was as if the whole world was targeting him, with endless hostility coming from all directions, ravaging and squeezing his fragile body. Just standing here would make his skin feel pain like a knife, and blood would continue to flow from his pores. It seeped out and turned into little magic light particles floating in the wind.
I never expected that after being eroded by anger to this extent, your mental network can still retain a considerable degree of rationality to suppress the infected thoughts. The incarnation leaned on the huge cutting ax and stood up, looking up at the gray sky with rolling black clouds.
He began to regret rashly invading the other party's mental network.
Terran bugs, never give in!
The rolling black clouds in the entire sky turned into a storm vortex under the stirring of the raging will. The thick clouds were torn apart, and an insect compound eye that almost occupied half of the sky gradually appeared from the gaps in the clouds, densely arranged like a honeycomb. On his small scarlet eyes, countless incarnations of thoughts are reflected from all angles.
This is the mind formed by the interconnection of the consciousnesses of countless bug-men, manifesting into a giant bug-man that is large enough to subvert human cognition. This giant compound eye hidden in the clouds is just the tip of the iceberg of this huge mind.
He was condescendingly observing the incarnation of thoughts on the ground as small as ants.
Betraitors, enslavers, forget about us.
The whispers of the insect mind echoed like muffled thunder
Between heaven and earth.
Although the whispering is intermittent, it does not affect the information carried in the language.
This is the advantage of communication based on the mental level. Even if the communicator does not understand the language and has difficulty speaking coherent and fluent sentences, the other party can still understand the meaning he wants to convey.
My mind is much sounder than I thought.
The incarnation of thoughts raised its head and looked directly at the giant eye in the sky without fear.
As a primate emotion aggregate, in a state of direct mental connection, he can not only clearly understand what the other party wants to convey, but can also keenly detect from the thunderous whispers the hidden thoughts in the hearts of countless individuals behind this huge mind. Emotional color.
Red anger, black hatred, deep blue sorrow, and hidden behind these strong emotions, the eclipse and extremely deep
disappointment.
Since you can form a collective will and produce such complex and advanced emotions, it means that you are not a group of ignorant beasts driven by a unified will. You should be very aware of the situation outside, right?
Traitors, untrustworthy, kill, highest priority.
The insect man's mind did not answer him, and the gathered will turned into a wave of pressure and fell from the sky.
The earth trembled violently under the heavy pressure that came out of thin air, and deep ravines were torn out of the ground. The sudden pressure on the body made the Avatar of Thoughts feel his body sink. His knees softened and he knelt down involuntarily.
Completely unable to communicate
The incarnation of thought can feel that this heavy pressure falling from the sky is not a real attack, but just the aftermath caused by the other party's accumulation of power.
However, even if it was just the aftermath, he still couldn't bear it. The flesh and blood bones made of magic power were screaming overwhelmed, and his intuition was frantically warning him to escape from here as soon as possible.
But he couldn't move a step, and could only watch helplessly as the churning of the clouds became more intense, and the surging extraordinary power gathered and compressed in the sky like a giant whale sucking water.
boom!
The long-prepared attack turned into a beam of annihilation and fell suddenly. .
Twenty minutes ago.
I'm sorry to eavesdrop on you, but actually, I am the instigator of all this.
The incarnation of thoughts was suspended in the air and politely greeted the two people who turned their heads stiffly. The ghost-like body below the waist looked a bit illusory and ethereal under the dots of shimmering particles. He scratched his head in embarrassment.
Dumbfounded
The two people said.
The man behind the scenes you are looking for is right here.
When Runtu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his mouth opened wide, and the words that were stuck in his throat and could not be stopped turned into a sigh and held his forehead.
Still couldn't stop this upright kid from revealing his identity
ah?
Eh?
The two people who learned of this shocking fact exclaimed in unison.
However, judging from their stunned and tongue-tied looks, it was obvious that their brains had not fully digested this huge amount of information.
Wait a moment
Lu Changgeng, who had a good psychological quality, came to his senses first. He covered his head in confusion and frowned. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the child in front of him. His tone gradually became colder: You mean you just
Are they the masterminds behind those lunatics outside?
Although what I just said is very clear, since you asked again, let me explain it in more detail. The incarnation of thoughts nods, I am the eternal echo from the inner sea of human heart
Born from the ideological trend, given life by my mother, given a body by my father and born into the world, the unconscious sea lord who is in charge of madness and blindness.
Before the incarnation of thought could finish speaking, Lu Changgeng had already taken out a pocket pistol from his arms.
Raise your hand, aim, and fire in one go.
boom!
Gunfire rang out.

The bullet came out.
However, the close-range shooting did not cause any damage to the incarnation of thought. The bullet flying at subsonic speed hit the invisible barrier surrounding him before it hit the target. The room suddenly lit up with blazing and dazzling firelight, and along with the barrier The high temperature and high heat will vaporize the bullet in an instant.
Varied
Lu Changgeng's pupils suddenly shrank, and before the investigator who had returned from the day hemisphere could take any further action, a pink little hand had already pressed on his arm. He subconsciously tried to pull his hand away to break free from the opponent's grasp, but no matter how hard he struggled, his hand remained motionless as if it were clamped by an iron plier.
And please watch your wording, those out there who are not called crazy, they now have a new name, the Red Lantern Corps.
Thoughts turned into small hands and pressed down, and the investigator's arm was suppressed.
Red Lantern Corps?
Lu Changgeng's face turned red from suppressing it, and he struggled to resist the huge force coming from his arm. His veins popped out and his expression was distorted.
This weird name is so difficult to pronounce that one can't help but wonder if it is a spell used by the warlocks.
This is the name given by my father. I wonder if it reminds me of the previous experience of being named. The incarnation of thoughts is completely immersed in its own world, with a complicated expression. Don't delve into the deep meaning of the name. You can't fathom Father's bad taste.
Lu Changgeng waved his hands and took two steps back to distance himself from the incarnation of the ideological trend. He looked deeply at this child who looked several years old and talked, his eyes full of wariness. At this time, Lao Fan on the side touched him calmly. , gave him a wink.
Want to use containment?
He thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Don't use that thing casually until the last moment
Lao Fan frowned slightly, but did not question the decision made by his companion h
The hand holding the contents in the pocket quietly loosened.
They thought that this series of small actions were very hidden, but in fact, the true thoughts in their hearts had long been conveyed to the hearts of the incarnations of thoughts along with the fleeting anger.
that
At this time, Runtu, who had been leaning aside, broke the tense atmosphere and changed the topic appropriately.
What will happen to those Red Lantern Corps people?
Only then did the incarnation of thoughts notice the existence of Runtu. He looked at this honest middle-aged man with some doubts at first, and then suddenly said as if he remembered something: You are, you are Runtu, you were the one who rescued me before. Bar? Thank you for reaching out to me at a critical moment.
He bowed slightly to thank Runtu, then raised his head and looked at the latter with energy.
The situation is tense now. Please forgive me for not being able to repay your life-saving kindness right now. When the crisis in Night City comes to an end, I will definitely repay this kindness.
Well, this Runtu obviously didn't expect that the incarnation of thoughts would be so solemn. He was a little flattered for a moment. He waved his hands in a panic. Don't say that I'm not that great. It's just that I didn't think so much at the time. In addition, Mr. Wu Ming also told me
Father just provides an opinion and suggestion, which at best points the way, but it is you who ultimately makes the decision, so you can hold your head up and be proud of the decisions and actions you make.
Runtu opened his mouth and looked at the clear eyes of the incarnation of thoughts. For some reason, he felt that his chest was a little clogged.
This is the first time he has been thanked and respected by others
In the City of Night, Runtu, like all low-level workers, is a small character who must do his best just to stay alive.
Working overtime at high intensity day and night, the big foremen who have nothing to do all day will only make outrageous demands one after another; as soon as they stop working, those arrogant little foremen will come one after another, waving their whips, and will be beaten if they fail to complete the work. , you will be beaten if you move slowly, and you will be beaten if the foreman is in a bad mood.
But no matter how hard he worked and how many factory targets he exceeded, no one would thank him for his contribution, the value of his labor, and no one would respect his efforts.
Even the foremen would exploit him at all levels, leaving him with only a meager salary that was hard to make ends meet.
Until today, he had never felt there was anything wrong with being treated like this.
Because this kind of thing is too common in Night City.
People are accustomed to the oppression of superiors, turn a blind eye to the heavy exploitation, and accept the atrocities of plunder.
Because intellectual aristocrats are naturally noble upper-class people, and low-down, stupid lower-class people like them are only worthy of living like yin.
Living like a ditch rat.
He has thought this way for decades in his life.
Not only him, but most of the lower-level workers in the city survive with this idea.
But until I met Mr. Wu Ming, met Miss Elizabeth, and was thanked by the incarnation of thoughts,
He suddenly realized that this shouldn't be the case.
The vision in front of him gradually became blurred. Even though his former friend Lu Changgeng was beside him, tears still couldn't stop pouring from his eyes.
sorry
The honest middle-aged man realized his gaffe and said vaguely while wiping his tears with his arm.
I just suddenly felt that I could understand a little bit what Mr. Wu Ming said to me.
Yeah? That's good.
The incarnation of thoughts responded calmly. The emotional realm he was in charge of was anger and blindness. He could never understand the emotions shown by the other party, so he could not give a stronger

Reaction.
So let’s get back to the point. The members of the Red Lantern Corps you saw before are actually infected with the virus of the mechanized mind. They will naturally be released after the treatment is completed. After Runtu calmed down a little, he slowly changed the topic.
However, during the treatment, you also saw that there are many alien creatures raging now, so in line with the principle of wasting all my efforts and making the best use of everything, I gave them extraordinary powers for self-protection and fighting, and finally got them under control. situation
Hearing these words, Lu Changgeng, who was standing silently aside, frowned: What you were going to talk about just now was waste utilization, right?
No, maybe you heard it wrong. The incarnation of thoughts and expressions are impeccable.
Runtu opened his mouth: Then
The incarnation of thoughts seems to have seen through the other person's worries.
As for other people who are not infected with the mechanized mind virus, you don’t have to worry about them, including your children.
They are all accepting the protection of their father and are now in a very safe situation.
After hearing the affirmative answer, Runtu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the mechanized mind virus spread, he originally wanted to rush back to the children as soon as possible, but when he saw the child-like incarnation of thoughts being hunted down, he got excited and saved him. Later, he was seriously injured, so he was delayed. I haven’t gone back now.
Now that he got the news that they were all well, the big stone that had been weighing on his heart finally fell.
But Father has another task for you.
The words of the incarnation of thoughts made Runtu's heart hang up again: What kind of mission?
It's not a very difficult job. The child waved his hand to signal the other person to relax, and just went to the inside of the energy tower to complete a few small tasks that were not very dangerous as soon as possible.
as a transaction
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Lu Changgeng.
I will ensure the safety of your friend and return him to freedom as soon as possible. What do you think?
The several-year-old child had a calm expression on his face, and his eyes as deep as the abyss stared at Lu Changgeng quietly, as if he had already understood the other party's answer.
What's your reply?
Needless to say?
The investigator shook his aching arm with a firm expression.
Tell me what we are going to do.
The incarnation of the thought showed a joyful smile, waved his hand and used extraordinary power to construct a three-dimensional sand table projection. Intricate routes and passages were being generated rapidly. Regions and special locations were marked with different color blocks. Soon a complete three-dimensional sand table was presented. In front of everyone.
This is the passage route to the interior of the energy tower
