Chapter 398 The Mysterious Arm
With a creak, the lid of the box was slowly lifted, and a faint, pungent smell wafted out. Xiao Xiao didn't react much, but Tang Zijun couldn't help but frown.
The smell was a bit strange, I couldn't quite put my finger on whether it was stench or something else. It felt like a mixture of engine oil and alcohol, with a hint of shoe polish and rubber. In short, it was very odd.
Inside the box, on a layer of soft black velvet, lay a mechanical arm, which looked exceptionally exquisite in the light.
Its lines are smooth and beautiful, and every curve is just right, as if it has been carefully sculpted by a master countless times. Tang Zijun could even faintly see the veins on the surface of the skin.
The material of the arm looks very special. It is like human skin, or a combination of some kind of soft metal and other materials, with a white and smooth surface.
Starting from the shoulder section, the mechanical internal structure becomes clear, with intricate chains and conduits connected together, resembling components of the human body.
Overall, if it weren't for the few wires and conduits protruding from the break, Tang Zijun would have mistaken it for something that had just been sawed off from a beautiful woman's body.
"My second brother was originally planning to study this thing carefully. As you know, the department is planning to use robots in RoboCop... to replace agents in wearing dark crystal weapons and fighting evil creatures, which would also reduce the casualty rate of agents."
"My second brother values this point, which is why he hopes to improve the technological level of our robots by researching this thing. At the same time, he also wants to find out exactly where that person has disappeared."
"But as you know, the technology behind this thing is beyond our comprehension, and this arm carries a special signal response that indiscriminately interferes with all the electronic instruments around us whenever we are about to do something."
"Because we really didn't want to damage this hard-won sample, we didn't choose to disassemble it. Of course, the main reason was that my second brother was worried that it would be difficult to put it back together after disassembling it."
At this point, Xiao Xiao shrugged helplessly.
Then, she blinked her big eyes and turned to look at Tang Zijun, who hadn't said a word.
"So, Tang, have you found anything?"
"I wouldn't call it a discovery, but I've now confirmed some information about this arm." Tang Zijun frowned slightly and slowly extended her hand.
As Tang Zijun ran her fingertips across the skin of her arm, feeling the faint warmth still emanating from it, she was certain that this arm was indeed the missing part of the woman's head from the dream world.
Before seeing this thing, Tang Zijun had wondered if she had misunderstood. After all, the world is so big and there are so many things, even if a right arm appeared, it might not be the one she was thinking of.
But things are different now. Other things can be faked, but scent cannot. The scent lingering on this arm comes from that mechanical woman. Tang Zijun even smelled the stuttering little girl's scent.
The image created from a distress message even mimics smells, suggesting that the other party's technological level may have far exceeded my expectations.
"Confirmed?" Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Have you seen similar things before?"
"Rather than saying it's similar to something, it's more like a part of this arm..." Tang Zijun pushed up her glasses, and with her right hand she exerted a little force, as if trying to figure out the bones under the skin of the arm.
"I found it on the black market in the dream world. It was a woman's head, exquisitely designed."
.
Xiao Xiao blinked. "So, does that mean we were wrong? This thing actually comes from the dream world too?"
"No, although the dream world is strange, its technological development is relatively backward compared to our world. Such a creation is something that even the furnace god of their world probably couldn't make, let alone the inhabitants of the dream world."
Tang Zijun shook her head slightly and continued.
"Furthermore, if it were a creation of a god, it would inevitably carry some remnants of divine power, but this thing has no strange energy whatsoever; instead, it seems more like a product of some kind of futuristic technology..."
As they were talking, when Tang Zijun's fingers touched the wrist of the arm, the arm, which had been as lifeless as a corpse, suddenly moved violently, and the previously powerless fingers suddenly straightened like springs.
"Oh my god!" Xiao Xiao, who was closest to the camera, was startled by the scene. Nuomi also launched herself forward and flew several meters away.
Tang Zijun frowned, and before he could react to what was happening, the signal jammer next to him suddenly sparked, and soon a burnt smell followed by black smoke rose out.
Xiao Xiao was ready to transform. Her eyes were fixed on the suddenly moving arm, and her pretty face was tense.
Just then, the skin on the arm and wrist suddenly began to change color, and then a screen embedded in the skin of the arm slowly appeared.
"What is this?" Tang Zijun muttered, then suddenly realized something and pressed the arm back into the box.
This was the first time Tang Zijun had ever used a grappling technique on an arm, and it felt strange.
However, this approach did not seem to have any effect on him; on the contrary, it made his sense of crisis grow stronger.
Without any warning, a dark blue electric current suddenly shot out from under his arm and then sped along the ground toward the computer not far away.
"Don't let it get away!!"
With Tang Zijun's loud shout, Xiao Xiao, who was standing next to her, could no longer hold back.
"Tidal Wave Sniper!"
A flash of blue light, and a stream of water shimmering with blue light caught up with the electric current in the blink of an eye, blasting the entire computer to pieces before it could even make contact with it.
The six-figure computer instantly turned into fragments on the ground with a loud bang, and at the same time, the eerie blue electric current suddenly changed direction.
"It wants to go to the elevator!!" Nuomi was the first to realize what the other was thinking.
But by then it was too late to react. The current was moving too fast, and it was also very close to the elevator. By the time Xiao Xiao came to her senses, she had no time to cast a spell in such a short time.
Just as the current was about to touch the elevator.
A beam of emerald green light shot out from the reflection of the elevator door, striking the snake-like current directly and knocking it back.
The sudden scene made Xiao Xiao and Nuomi freeze for a moment. Then they saw a girl the size of a thumb flapping her wings and flying out in the reflection. Above her head, two antennae were emitting a green glow.
She's a flower fairy!
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened. She had cooperated with the Flower Fairy when the Shadow Disaster broke out before, but she never expected that the other party would appear here.
"Don't just stand there, that guy seems to be enraged."
At that moment, Tang Zijun's voice came from afar.
But then the repelled current suddenly began to flicker and rapidly expand, looking like a lightning storm about to erupt.
Amidst the piercing noise and dazzling light, a black shadow slowly materialized from the electric current.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
The hoarse crackling of electricity grew louder and louder, and the entire basement was a mess.
At the very center of the lightning, a burly mechanical humanoid struggled to stand upright. It was over two meters tall and covered in black metal. After it appeared, the basement suddenly felt cramped.
"Is it another one like that robot from before?" Xiao Xiao held a magic wand that looked like a conductor's baton and quickly stood in front of Tang Zijun. She looked at the figure opposite her, a hint of tension in her eyes.
To be honest, if she had known things would turn out this way, she would never have brought Tang Zijun here.
Tang Zijun is, after all, the only six-star agent in the bureau, and also a key figure in exploring the dream world from the real world. If something were to happen to him here, she would be considered a sinner.
Most importantly, they are currently in a basement. Forget about running away; if a collapse occurs during the fight, they could all be buried here.
Just as Xiao Xiao was pondering what to do, the mechanical humanoid opposite her suddenly moved. It twisted its neck, and its red-glowing gaze locked directly onto Tang Zijun.
"Buzz... Detected... Recording information..."
"...Traitor... *sizzle*..."
"Annihilate!"
