Jinguijiro's body was completely petrified. He slowly raised the stone scepter, his eyes were empty and cold, and he mechanically repeated: "Eliminate the target! Eliminate the target!" Suddenly, his body seemed to be injected with new energy, and he rushed towards Kuranosuke. His movements were stiff but with a force that could not be ignored.
Kuranosuke deftly sideways and dodged Jinguijiro's scepter attack. A few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were a bit panicked and angry: "What kind of broken game is this! Teammates can become enemies!" As he retreated, he glanced around with his peripheral vision, trying to find a way to crack the NPC control.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes immediately locked onto Jinguijiro, and his body moved quickly to block Kuranosuke. His mechanical arm quickly unfolded, forming a solid barrier to block Jinguijiro's second attack. The stone scepter hit the mechanical arm, making a muffled "bang" sound and sparks flying.
"Kabu! Jingui Jiro, wake up! Don't be controlled! Kabu!" Kabuda's voice was a little anxious, his mechanical eyes flashed red, trying to use his voice to wake Jingui Jiro's consciousness.
However, Jingui Jiro did not respond, but continued to attack mechanically, repeating the cold words in his mouth: "Eliminate the target! Eliminate the target!" Although his movements were stiff, every time he swung the scepter, he brought powerful force, forcing Kabuda to defend with all his strength.
Kuranosuke took the opportunity to go around Jingui Jiro, with a bit of thinking and tension in his eyes: "We have to find a way to break his control, otherwise we can't continue the game like this." His fingers trembled slightly, and he was obviously a little flustered by the current situation.
While resisting Jingui Jiro's attack, Kabuda quickly responded: "Kabu! I just noticed that after Xiaorang was transformed into an NPC, he was kicked away by me and hit the rune barrier before he recovered. Maybe we can use the same method! Kabu!" There was a bit of haste in his voice, and the mechanical arm had begun to accumulate energy.
Kuranosuke nodded, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Okay, I'll attract his attention, and you find a chance to knock him into the rune barrier!" After he finished speaking, he quickly rushed to the side of Jingui Jiro, jumped up and waved at him, "Hey, Jingui Jiro, look here!" Jingui Jiro's movements paused slightly, and the direction of the scepter swinging turned to Kuranosuke. Kabuda seized this opportunity, and the mechanical arm instantly burst out with a powerful thrust, and his body rushed towards Jingui Jiro like a cannonball. "Kabu! Jingui Jiro, I'm sorry! Kabu!" Kabuda's mechanical arm hit Jingui Jiro's back hard, and the huge impact force pushed him directly into the rune barrier. Jingui Jiro's body hit the barrier heavily, and the rune barrier made a harsh "buzzing" sound, and the black light flashed on his body for a few times, and then quickly dissipated. The stone scepter slipped from his hand, making a crisp "ding-dong" sound. Jinguijiro's body slid softly to the ground, and his eyes gradually regained clarity. He rubbed the back of his head and looked at Kabuda and Kuranosuke with a blank face: "What happened? I felt like I had a dream, in which I was waving a stone scepter." There was a bit of confusion in his voice, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the control.
Kuranosuke breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to help Jinguijiro up: "You were turned into an NPC just now, and almost wiped out both of us." He smiled bitterly and patted Jinguijiro on the shoulder, "Fortunately, Kabuda thought of a way to crack it."
Kabuda walked over, his mechanical eyes flashing with a soft light: "Kab! Now is not the time to blame yourself, we have to continue the game, and we can't be trapped in this trap again! Kabu!" There was a bit of firmness in his voice, and he was obviously ready to continue fighting.
Kuranosuke nodded, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit: "That's right, we can't fall here. No matter how bad this game is, we must persist to the end!" His tone was a bit firm, and he had obviously recovered from the panic just now.
"Fifth question: What gets dirtier the more you wash it?" The old man's shadow swayed above the ring, and his voice was a bit playful.
"It's water! Bath water gets dirtier the more you wash it!" Scorpion Lailai came out from the corner and answered in seconds. He likes to take a bath in the bathhouse the most, and this question must be answered!
The old man on the ring nodded, with some praise in his voice: "The answer is correct. Scorpion Lailai gets a random buff blessing."
Scorpion Lailai's body immediately glowed with a golden light, and his mechanical pliers waved in the air a few times, as if celebrating his victory. Suddenly, a bathhouse VIP gold card appeared out of thin air between his pliers, and the card surface was shining with golden light, which looked particularly luxurious.
"Is this... a bathhouse VIP gold card?" Scorpion Lailai's eyes lit up instantly, and the mechanical pliers tightly grasped the gold card, with a bit of excitement in his voice: "Haha, I can finally take a bath anytime! Great!" He couldn't wait to raise the pliers and gently pinched it, and the gold card instantly made a "ding" sound.
Then, the air in the center of the ring suddenly twisted, and a huge bathtub appeared out of thin air in front of Scorpion Lailai. The bathtub was filled with steaming water, and curling white mist rose from the water surface, as if calling Scorpion Lailai. He jumped in without hesitation, the mechanical pliers stretched out, and the whole person was soaked in the water, with an expression on his face that seemed particularly enjoyable.
"Ah-so comfortable!" Scorpion Lailai's voice was a bit lazy, and he hummed an untuned little song in his mouth. The mechanical pliers gently slapped the water surface, splashing a few drops of water. The mist gradually spread, covering him in it.
Kabuda stood aside, his mechanical eyes flashing with envy. He stared at the scorpion Lailai in the bathtub, with a bit of desire in his voice: "Kabu! This is too cool! I want to take a bath, Kabu!" After he finished speaking, he jumped into the bathtub without hesitation, his mechanical arms stretched out in the water, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Kabu! The water temperature is just right, Kabu!" Kabuda's voice was a bit happy, and he was soaking in the water, as if he had forgotten that they were still in the ring. His mechanical eyes flashed with a soft light, and he was obviously very satisfied with the current state.
Xiaorang stood beside the bathtub, looking at the two guys who were soaking comfortably, helplessly holding his forehead, with a bit of speechlessness in his voice: "You two... Is it time to take a bath now? We are still in the competition!" There was a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, obviously speechless about the behavior of these two guys.
Tian Delina completely ignored the situation around her. She took out a small mirror from her maid's apron and carefully looked at her makeup. Her fingers gently touched her cheeks, and her voice was a bit careless: "The wind and sand in this arena are really unbearable. My makeup is going to be ruined." As she spoke, she took out a lipstick from her pocket and gently applied it, with a trace of concentration in her eyes.
Wang Ye watched Scorpion Lailai get the buff, and his mouth twitched. Even if he used the game, the protagonist's aura was weakened, and it was still not enough to reverse the negative character.
At this moment, the rune in the center of the ring suddenly began to flicker, emitting a dazzling white light. Every flicker of the rune was accompanied by a light "hum", and the light gradually increased, as if accumulating energy. The rune barrier around the arena also began to vibrate, making a low "buzzing" sound, as if responding to the call of the central rune.
"Hey, what's going on?" Kuranosuke raised his head suddenly, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the runes in the center of the ring, and his voice was a little uneasy: "These runes seem to be activating some kind of transmission device!"
Scorpion Lailai and Kabuda were still enjoying the bathtub, and they didn't notice anything unusual around them. Scorpion Lailai's mechanical pincers gently slapped the water surface, and the little song in his mouth became more cheerful, as if he was completely immersed in his own world.
Kabuda squinted his eyes, and his mechanical arm slowly waved in the water, with a bit of laziness in his voice: "Kabu! This water temperature is really great, Kabu! I really want to soak in it!" His mechanical eyes flashed with a soft light, and he was obviously very satisfied with his current state.
Tian Delina was still putting on makeup, and she looked particularly delicate in the small mirror. She pursed her lips gently, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her voice was a bit careless: "This competition is really boring, it's better to put on a mask at home."
Suddenly, the runes in the center of the ring suddenly burst into a dazzling white light, and the light instantly enveloped the entire ring. The white light spread out like a substance, enveloping everyone. Kuranosuke only had time to shout, "Be careful!" before he felt a strong sense of dizziness coming over him, and the world in front of him became blurry in an instant.
The white light lasted for a few seconds and then quickly dissipated. The ring was empty, leaving only the bathtub full of hot water. The white mist on the water surface was still rising, as if telling what had just happened.
The hot water in the bathtub swayed out with the inertia of the transmission and fell on a green lawn. On the grass, a steaming bathtub appeared out of thin air. In the bathtub, Scorpion Lailai and Kabuda huddled together, looking confused.
"Hey? Where's my bath towel?" Scorpion Lailai shook the water off his head and looked around.
Kabuda also stood up from the bathtub, and the water flowed down his metal body. "Kabu? Where is this? Kabu!" He looked around, his mechanical eyes rolling.
Tian Delina stood up gracefully from the grass, patted the dust off her body, and looked at the wet grass with disdain: "Really, it stained my new dress." She took out a small mirror from her handbag, carefully checked her makeup, and frowned slightly.
Kuranosuke was vigilantly observing the surrounding environment. This is a vast grassland, and the rolling mountains can be vaguely seen in the distance. The breeze blew, bringing a fresh scent of grass, and several unknown birds flew over their heads, making crisp chirping sounds. He walked to the bathtub and reached out to test the water temperature. "The water temperature didn't change." He whispered, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Ah, my VIP gold card!" Scorpion Lailai suddenly screamed, he fumbled around in a hurry, and the metal pliers collided and made a crisp sound, "My gold card is gone!"
Kabuda also became anxious: "Kab! My bubble bath ball is gone too! Kab!" He searched anxiously in the bathtub.
"Be quiet, you two!" Tian Delina interrupted them impatiently, "It's so noisy!" She put away the small mirror and looked around, "The most important thing now is to figure out where we are, not to worry about your junk." Kabuda immediately stopped searching, turned his mechanical eyes to Tian Delina, and said aggrievedly: "Kabu, but my bubble bath ball is a limited edition, Kabu!" His mechanical tentacles drooped slightly, and there was a hint of childish stubbornness in his voice, as if he had lost his most beloved toy. Tian Delina glanced at him, with a hint of impatience in her eyes, and she walked straight towards the mountains in the distance, her feet making a "tapping" sound on the grass, and every step seemed elegant and firm. "Let's compete first." She said without turning her head, her voice was cold, as if Kabuda's complaints were just a gust of wind in her ears.
Kuang Zhisuke and Xiao Rang followed, and Xiao Rang did not forget to turn back to comfort Kabuda: "Kabuda, we have to win the game first before we can get the Peace Star." His tone was gentle, with a bit of comfort, and his eyes were full of concern. He raised his hand and gently patted Kabuda's metal shell, trying to calm him down.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes flickered a few times, and his voice was still a bit aggrieved, but obviously much more relaxed: "Kabu! Okay, let's go find others first, Kabu!" He took heavy steps and followed the team, his mechanical arm swaying gently, obviously still feeling lost for the lost bubble bath ball.
Kuang Zhisuke looked at Tian Delina's back, thinking. He pulled Mitaka Sayuri, who had basically no presence, to the side.
"Have you noticed that something is wrong with Tian Delina? She used to be very gentle."
Sayuri Mitaka nodded, "I find it strange too. Is she having her period? Do robots have periods?"
Kuronosuke rolled his eyes at Sayuri Mitaka, "I don't understand either! I'm not a friend of women!"
