111: The skyrail crashes into the building and machines invade!

"It's still early, where to next?" Luo Xi said, looking at her wrist watch.

"Don't you have a get-together?"

"It doesn't matter if I go to that or not," Luo Xi said with a smile, "Compared to playing the role of the aloof school beauty in their eyes, I still prefer to stay by your side."

The stunning school beauty hit a straight ball, and Jiang Yuan was a bit overwhelmed.

Luo Xi also belatedly realized what she had said, her small face flushed red, and just as she was about to explain something, she suddenly felt something furry brush against her calf, and looked down.

A scrawny little cat leaned against her leg, rubbing lightly, and looking up weakly said, "Meow~"

"Ahhh!!"

Luo Xi was startled, jumped up abruptly, and hid behind Jiang Yuan as if avoiding a plague god.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback: "You, dislike cats?"

"It's not dislike, it's fear," Luo Xi said, a bit embarrassed, speaking weakly, "When I was little, I was attacked by a psychic cat-like fierce beast..."

"It left you with a phobia of cats as a mental disorder?"

"Something like that."

Jiang Yuan was speechless, and after the scrawny little cat staggered a few steps towards Jiang Yuan, it finally couldn't hold on and its body tilted, falling down.

Luo Xi: "Is, is it dead?"

Jiang Yuan bent down and picked up the little cat.

Its breathing was rapid, its expression was pained, and its life force was extremely weak.

"It's not dead yet, but it's close," Jiang Yuan said.

Under the astonished and bewildered gazes of passersby on the street, a wisp of black and red flame appeared in his hand, enveloping the little cat in his palm.

"It's not dead yet and you're going to cremate it?!" Luo Xi was startled.

Jiang Yuan cursed angrily, "Idiot, look closely."

Luo Xi fixed her gaze and only then realized that the little cat enveloped by the black and red flame was not burned to ashes, but instead seemed to be injected with life, its injuries rapidly recovering, its shriveled belly gradually swelling, its fur gradually becoming lush, and its life force rapidly increasing.

In less than a moment, it opened its eyes again, stood up in Jiang Yuan's palm, and shook its body vigorously, full of spirit.

"So, so amazing!" an office worker watching exclaimed.

The little girl being led by her mother also couldn't help but say, "Da gege, are you a Healer?"

"Me? No."

"Then you're a Magician, so handsome!"

Jiang Yuan smiled, didn't explain anything, and dispersed the Immortal Phoenix Flame in his hand.

As for this ordinary calico cat, he planned to take it home and raise it, just to learn how to control beasts before the pet egg hatched.

Holding the little cat, he turned to look at Luo Xi.

Luo Xi couldn't help but step back half a step, "You're not thinking of raising it, are you?"

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, stepped forward half a step, "Yeah. What about it?"

Luo Xi stepped back again, "No, nothing..."

"We've played enough today, haven't we? I should probably head back too..."

Luo Xi still wanted to keep him, but seeing the cat in Jiang Yuan's hand, the words got stuck in her throat and she didn't say them.

The damage caused by that cat-like fierce beast when she was a child was in the mental Domain, and after so many years, the fear of cats was imprinted in the depths of her mind like a thought brand, difficult to cure.

Jiang Yuan smiled, having found the school beauty's weakness, and was about to turn and leave when...

"Bang!" A loud noise came.

Everyone on the street looked up.

They saw that not far away, an out-of-control elevated train crashed directly into a building, piercing through the building, while the huge impact force directly broke the several-hundred-meter-high building in half, and the building collapsed, smashing into another building.

"Boom!" Explosions and firelight erupted everywhere, and huge rocks fell from the sky, smashing onto houses, streets, and vehicles that couldn't dodge were instantly flattened, followed by a chain reaction of explosions among subsequent vehicles, turning the area into a sea of fire!

"Ah!!" The crowd screamed and scattered, fleeing.

In an instant, the entire street was in chaos!

"Keng——!" After Luo Xi blocked a burning vehicle smashing towards them with a mental barrier, she shouted to the mother holding the child, "Quickly leave here."

"Thank you, thank you!" The mother was extremely grateful and quickly fled with her child.

"Whoosh——" A huge rock flew over, and Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Psychokinesis.

The huge rock that flew in front of him instantly froze, landing steadily.

Jiang Yuan put the startled little cat into his arms, zipped up his jacket, and looked towards the direction of the collapsing building.

"True Sight Eye."

A giant gray eyeball instantly appeared above the City, overlooking the building that had been broken in half, where explosions continued, corpses lay everywhere, survivors wailed for help under the rubble, and some Transferred Martial Artists who were about to rescue those around them were impaled by steel tentacles, strung up in mid-air like candied haws.

In the depths of the exploding sea of fire, a tall, bizarre mechanical monster emitting a terrifying Aura walked out of the elevated train, surrounded by a strong electromagnetic field, absorbing all mechanical objects along the way to integrate into itself, its body and Aura becoming increasingly massive.

"Damn it——!" A Second-Order middle-aged Martial Artist roared and swung his saber at it, the saber light was sharp, but it couldn't even break through the electromagnetic field around it.

The mechanical monster raised its hand and fired a pre-emptive red laser, directly blasting the head of the rapidly moving middle-aged Martial Artist.

The remaining Transferred Martial Artists and ordinary people inside the building also did not escape, their lives were ruthlessly harvested by its mechanical tentacles and laser beams.

"How could the elevated train crash into a building? How could such an accident happen?" Luo Xi was puzzled.

Jiang Yuan, who saw everything clearly through the True Sight Eye, said with a deep expression, "It's not an accident."

Luo Xi turned to look at him, "Not?"

"It's a mechanical monster comparable to a Sixth-Order Transferred Martial Artist."

Luo Xi's eyes widened upon hearing this, "Mechanical Church?!"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Luo Xi gasped.

Every school's textbook recorded the Mechanical Church, but only in a few strokes; it was an ancient church that had existed since the era of the Gods' Abandonment, operating in the shadows of society, on one hand promoting social development through machinery, and on the other conducting research that violated human principles, with each experiment accompanied by a huge price.

As the daughter of an Eighth-Order powerhouse, Luo Xi knew more.

According to what she knew, every time the Mechanical Church appeared in a City, it would bring great disaster to that City.

"Quick, go!" Luo Xi grabbed Jiang Yuan's hand and urged anxiously, "This is not something we can handle, if that thing self-destructs, this area will be razed to the ground."

Without her saying anything, Jiang Yuan was already planning to do so; it was impossible for the Patrol Division not to notice such a big commotion.

But just as he was about to leave.

He saw a familiar figure in the True Sight Eye.

It was Guan Xiaoxiao!

She was in the underground shopping mall of that building, laboriously summoning shadows to try and clear the rubble to rescue several children who were buried inside.

"Why is she there?!" Jiang Yuan's heart was in turmoil, stirring up huge waves.

He inexplicably recalled the Yin Lord's curse when he left the college entrance examination instance.

[In the near future, the City you are in and all your relatives will die in the most tragic way before your eyes!!]

No way...

Luo Xi pulled him twice, but he didn't budge, and she turned to look puzzled, "You go first, I have something to do."

The uneasy Jiang Yuan stuffed the little cat in his arms into her hand, took out a mid-level teleportation scroll, and tore it directly.

Before Luo Xi could react, Jiang Yuan had disappeared into the teleportation light, and there was a furry thing in her hand.

"Meow~~"

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

...Guan Xiaoxiao never expected.

That just going out shopping, coming to the mall to buy some clothes, she would encounter something like an earthquake.

After finally laboriously rescuing several children, before she could catch her breath.

The ceiling above collapsed with a bang, and several familiar figures came into view.

"Huang Yi, Liu Hong, Nan Shan, Zhang Yilin, Xu Tao?" Guan Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The few of them were also surprised to see Guan Xiaoxiao, followed by overjoyed expressions.

"Guan Xiaoxiao?! Didn't you not come to the get-together?"

"Xiaoxiao, help!" Liu Hong threw herself into her arms.

"We were just planning to come to the virtual game arcade here after the class reunion, we never thought we would encounter something like this, that monster is too terrifying!" Zhang Yilin said with lingering fear.

"Monster? Isn't it an earthquake?" Guan Xiaoxiao had a information gap.

"What earthquake, it's a terrifying mechanical monster that controlled the elevated train to break this building in half!" Nan Shan shouted, still in shock.

Guan Xiaoxiao's expression was stunned, "Broke, broke the building in half?"

"Luckily, we were on a lower floor, and we were also lucky to escape thanks to Xu Tao's Earth Evasion talent. That monster is too terrifying, even a Third-Order Transferred Martial Artist was instantly killed." Huang Yi said with lingering fear, his face pale.

After hearing their words, Guan Xiaoxiao also realized the seriousness of the situation, her face slightly pale.

A little girl said fearfully, "Will, will we die?"

"No, the Patrol Division will definitely send people to rescue us right away." Guan Xiaoxiao comforted her.

The next second, the entire space vibrated violently again, and piercing screams came from above.

Huang Yi grabbed Xu Tao by the collar, "Quick, quickly use your talent to get us out!"

"No, I can't, I'm out of strength, let me recover." Xu Tao said weakly.

He wasn't even a Transferred Martial Artist yet, using his talent beyond his limits was simply unbearable.

Crackling—— A fierce electric current suddenly struck from above, not very offensive, but it instantly penetrated the bodies of Guan Xiaoxiao and the others.

This was... probing?

The moment Guan Xiaoxiao's hairs stood on end.

"Bang!" The ceiling above shattered, and a mechanical tentacle with sharp barbs appeared in the sight of the few people.

Their faces instantly turned pale.

"Swish!" The mechanical tentacle pierced through the air, carrying a cold light, and stabbed towards the few people at an extremely fast speed.

"Yellow Rock Shield!"

"Water Ball Technique!"

"Earth Evasion."

"Earthworm Lightning!"

In their panic, the few of them released their talents and skills, but the disparity was too great, they couldn't even shake the mechanical tentacle.

At the critical moment, Guan Xiaoxiao tore open a mid-level defensive scroll her parents had bought for her, instantly forming a barrier field.

But it only blocked the mechanical tentacle's first attack.

With the second strike, the mechanical tentacle released a powerful electromagnetic force, carrying terrifying penetration power, directly breaking through the barrier field.

Half of Xu Tao's body had just merged into the remaining ground when he was directly pierced through the shoulder by the mechanical tentacle, electromagnetic force was released, and in the horrified eyes of the few people, he was instantly electrocuted into charcoal.

"It's, it's over..." Liu Hong knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with despair.

The mechanical tentacle arched high and stabbed towards the few people again!

"Whoosh!"

"Ah ah ah..."

Amidst the fearful screams of the children.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of the few people.

He reached out and grabbed the mechanical tentacle that was stabbing towards Guan Xiaoxiao's glabella, like pinching the seven-inch point of a snake, and with terrifying strength, he made it unable to advance another inch!

Guan Xiaoxiao looked at the back in front of her with a dazed expression.

"Jiang Yuan...?"
