And watching Lynn's fighting spirit finally being rekindled, seeing him gradually stand up, the Twelve-Winged Holy Angel's eyes also grew slightly moist.
"Good boy!"
She stretched out her arms and gave him a tight, warm hug.
"Never give up! The Matriarch is always by your side. If you ever feel like you can't hold on, just think of the Matriarch. It's fine, it's fine to think of the Matriarch as family! The Matriarch is with you!"
Hearing this gentle voice, Lynn's tears flowed even more freely, burying his head even deeper.
"Thank you..."
Lynn gathered his emotions, then cried out brokenly:
"Mother!"
[Ding! Twelve-Winged Holy Angel's Affinity towards you 20]
[Ding! Twelve-Winged Holy Angel's Affinity towards you 30]
[Ding! Holy Angel’s trust in you 10]
That one heartfelt cry directly maxed out the Twelve-Winged Holy Angel's affinity.
[Ding! Your mission "Platonic Attempt" completion reached 30%, conquest index greatly increased!]

...
Several minutes later.
In a certain room in the Cursed City, Lynn slowly opened his eyes, calming his mind, settling his energy into his dantian, and taking a deep breath.
Lynn stared seriously at the vial of sacred blood in his hand, saying, "The Matriarch really does love . So moving! She actually gave her poor student a vial of sacred blood!"
But before he could finish speaking.
His left hand instantly lifted up, then suddenly grabbed his cheek, pulling hard.
"Zuo Zuo, why are you pulling my face?! It hurts! Stop! Stop!"
Zuo Zuo yelled while pulling, "No morals! Completely no morals left!! I was wondering why you ran off to the Sight halfway through treatnt, turns out you went specifically to sell a sob story! Too despicable! Way too despicable!"
"Zuo Zuo can't stand to watch this anymore!!"
Lynn struggled to restrain the left hand pulling his cheek, gritting his teeth as he grabbed the left wrist and pushed outward, saying:
"What does a left hand know! Use things for their purpose! You have no idea how hard it is to raise the Matriarch's affinity! When you finally get such an opportunity, if you don't seize it, there might never be another chance!"
Zuo Zuo scread, "Liar! Big liar!! No morals left at all!!"
Just as the man and hand were wrestling, suddenly, dense footsteps ca rushing from outside the door.
Instantly.
The wrestling Lynn and Zuo Zuo fell silent, alertly looking towards the direction of the door.
"Movent!" Zuo Zuo said warily.
Lynn perked up his ears, squinting, "Mhm."
And it was at this mont that Lynn quickly scanned his current surroundings.
A dilapidated room.
Cracks were everywhere on the walls. A broken window led outside, offering a vague glimpse of the pitch-black sky. Directly opposite them was a door covered in dust.
And the footsteps were coming from sowhere far beyond that door.
And the very next mont, an extrely urgent voice ca from outside.
"Hurry! Run! Must not let it track us! If it summons a chanical swarm, we're all finished!"
Boom—
A loud sound of a door being broken down.
Two slimy tentacle monsters suddenly rushed in. One of them was covered in blood, with seven or eight tentacles severed, being dragged by the other tentacle monster as they urgently dashed towards the window.
Above them, Lynn was pressed flat against the ceiling, wide-eyed, watching the two tentacle monsters swiftly leap out the window.
And an introduction for one of the tentacle monsters appeared before Lynn's eyes.
[Desire-type · Tentacle Monster]
[Level]: 61
[Race]: Root Offspring, Flesh Amalgamation
[Alignnt]: Chaotic Neutral
[Combat Ability]: Slimy and adorably fierce, a girl's favorite.
[Introduction]: One of the thousands of offspring born from the branches of the Desire Mother Tree, the most basic unit of the Desire faction. Possesses extre extensibility and toughness, along with abilities to split and induce lewdness. However, being a mass-produced logistical unit, its combat power is not strong. Still, do not underestimate its capabilities. Once entangled, escape is difficult, and they tend to burrow into strange places...
Claws of the Desire Mother Tree?!
Lynn's heart stirred.
Seems the location he fold-jumped to this ti isn't great!
And judging by their state, they seem to be hiding from sothing. Could it be...
And almost simultaneously, Lynn suddenly sensed a chanical vibration coming from outside the door.
The next mont.
A chanical tal eye, its surface flowing with light, ca floating towards the door direction, executed a sharp braking drift, then aid at the window and swiftly floated into the room.
"Flesh and blood biological scan—Detected—Transmitting signal—Locked on—Preparing to summon swarm—"
Its eye flashed with red light, ding ding ding.
Lynn also imdiately saw its introduction clearly.
[Intellect-chanical Eye]
[Level]: None
[Race]: chanical, Flesh and Blood Detector.
[Alignnt]: Absolute Lawful
[Combat Ability]: Extrely fast speed and reconnaissance capability, small yet quite lethal.
[Introduction]: A basic reconnaissance and detection unit of the chanical Cult, designed specifically to counter the Beholders of the Flesh and Blood Cult. Small in size, fast in speed, connected in real-ti to the Hive host. Once a flesh and blood unit is detected within its scanning range, it imdiately transmits the signal back to the Hive and summons a chanical swarm or carpet bombing. Be careful.
Thud—
Under Lynn's watchful gaze, that small chanical eye also jumped out the window.
Lynn glanced out the window, whispering to the Little Treasure beside him:
"Seems it didn't detect ."
But the mont his words finished, that chanical eye that had just jumped out thudded back in again, its eye shooting out beams of light, swish swish swish, scanning around.
"Detecting abnormal flesh and blood energy fluctuations—Target location retrieval—Above—"
The eyeball suddenly looked up, its gaze landing on Lynn's hiding spot on the ceiling.
But almost the instant it looked up.
Wham—
A scythe smacked right into its tal eye.
Lynn and Little Treasure instantly jumped down, closed in, holding a stick and a steel pipe, and started violently beating and ganging up on that tal eye.
"Couldn't you have just pretended not to see and left? You already jumped out, why jump back in? You asking for it?! Isn't getting beaten up for nothing?!"
"Hiss! Hiss at it!!"
"Beat the crap out of it!"
A man, a hand, and a tongue, ard with a steel pipe, surrounded the eye, stomping and smacking it repeatedly.
For a mont, bricks flew, tentacles danced wildly, and electric sparks exploded.
Anyone unaware would think a terrorist gang smuggled in from sowhere was committing a cri.
They kept at it for half a minute.
With a crack sound, the cracked tal eyeball rolled away to the side, spewing electric sparks, completely out of commission.
[Ding! You scrapped an Intellect-chanical Eye. You gained 50 experience!]
