"Where do you want to go? Do you need to support you?"
The young girl helped Lin Ye move away from that wire, but their speed wasn't fast. The wire was still closing the distance.
"Thank you."
Lin Ye used his Special Ability on himself again. The young girl soon vanished. Before disappearing, she helped Lin Ye lean against the wall.
"See you soon."
After the girl vanished, the wire didn't disappear. Lin Ye could only crawl towards the ergency stairwell using the body parts he could still feel.
However, before Lin Ye could enter the ergency stairwell, the young girl walked out from inside it.
"Oh, we et again."
"You're really persistent. Can't you let have so quiet ti alone?"
Lin Ye had actually considered whether to jump out of a window after using his Special Ability. But he didn't like the idea of choosing suicide when it wasn't a guaranteed death situation.
"Of course I can. I'll try my best to follow you quietly, so you won't even notice my presence."
The young girl walked behind Lin Ye, giving him a feeling that he might get stabbed in the back at any mont.
Fortunately, the ergency stairwell was right ahead. Using his remaining functional parts, Lin Ye rolled down the stairs.
He calculated which parts would absorb the impact during the roll. This way, he could leave this Building at a minimal cost.
After all, many parts of his body were already unusable. This was a perfect opportunity for so waste utilization.
Before long, Lin Ye rolled down to the ground floor. Using his montum, he rolled out of the Building. There were no utility pole people outside.
"I've seen many people. If they had even one percent of your mobility, they probably wouldn't live in such pain."
The young girl standing behind Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.
"Can't you just command those wire monsters to co and kill ?"
If the girl had that intention, Lin Ye would have been back in the prison transport vehicle long ago.
"I won't harm you. After all, I am your ntal illness."
The young girl slowly followed behind Lin Ye, not doing anything unnecessary.
"You probably can't, right? As part of the infectious disease, you caused the birth of those wire monsters, but you can't interfere with their actions. So you can only try to stop from solving the problem here using this thod?"
This was Lin Ye's conclusion based on the girl's behavior. There might be so deviation, but the general direction was probably correct.
"You're right. And if you die here, I'll disappear too. So I don't want you to die here. If you run away now, there might still be ti."
The young girl bought a bottle of mineral water from a nearby vending machine. She placed the bottle opening at Lin Ye's mouth and gave him a drink.
"Please don't try to persuade . I'm almost convinced by what you're saying."
Lin Ye licked his lips. He was indeed a bit thirsty.
"Even though you say that, you're actually not moved at all, are you?"
The young girl walked happily behind Lin Ye, like they were a couple on a date.
It would be even better if Lin Ye wasn't crawling on the ground.
Lin Ye gradually got used to crawling forward using the few remaining parts he could still feel. His movent speed gradually increased. He had long morized the terrain of this area and knew exactly how to approach the Comrcial District.
"Ah, oh no! Wire monsters have appeared!"
The young girl behind Lin Ye spoke in a very anxious tone.
Lin Ye used his Special Ability on the approaching utility pole person.
"...Huh? What's... happening to ?"
The utility pole person suddenly stopped, emitting crackling noises.
Relying on the system's translation, Lin Ye understood the aning of those noises.
He ignored the utility pole person who had fallen into confusion and quickly crawled past it.
'I didn't expect I could even affect the brains of monsters like this.'
Previously, to avoid triggering unexpected situations, Lin Ye hadn't tried using his Special Ability on utility pole people. He never expected it would have this effect.
Relying on Brain Control, Lin Ye quickly wriggled like a caterpillar to the entrance of the Comrcial District.
The Comrcial District was piled with citizens' corpses. Each corpse had a wire inserted into it.
'Is this so kind of biological battery? Because spiritual energy is restricted, they're using these corpses to provide energy?'
Lin Ye quickly crawled near the giant tal construct. Since the area ahead was piled with wires, he could no longer crawl forward.
"Alright, you successfully crawled here. Now what are you going to do? Use that strange ability to affect that tal pillar?"
The young girl squatted beside Lin Ye, smoothing his hair, not minding the stains on him at all.
"I can only affect brains. But tal doesn't have a brain, so no."
Lin Ye wanted to do that too, but he couldn't use his Special Ability on the tal construct.
"However, besides that, there are other brains here that can be affected."
Lying on the pile of corpses, Lin Ye smiled. The surrounding corpses began to twitch. Near the entrance in the distance, so corpses had already gotten up from the ground.
"What's happening to ?"
"What is this place?"
"It hurts! Who are you people? What are you doing to ?"
"Why is there a wire inserted into ?"
"Help! Can soone save ?"
"My phone is dead. Can you call an ambulance for ?"
...
Chaotic voices sounded all around. Lin Ye didn't know what effect losing these 'batteries' would have on the tal construct. This was just an attempt.
"This is getting a bit troubleso."
The young girl squatted beside Lin Ye, murmuring to herself.
"You can feel troubled too?"
Lin Ye lay on a corpse's calf. He hadn't used his Special Ability on this corpse.
"No, I an, these people will all be affected by now. They might attack you."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, all the surrounding corpses turned their heads to look at Lin Ye, as if they had received so command.
"That's not really trouble. I wouldn't let the things I create attack ."
The corpses approaching Lin Ye suddenly clutched their heads and collapsed to the ground. Before long, their malford brains crawled out from their eye sockets and ran outside.
For these corpses with strange ideas, Lin Ye just needed to keep using his Special Ability on them until their brains underwent Alienation to the point they could crawl out.
Fortunately, the consumption from using the Special Ability didn't need to be paid by Lin Ye, and Brain Control was a Special Ability that could be used repeatedly.
After those malford brains separated from their bodies, they quickly lost vitality, turning into disgusting puddles of solid-liquid mixture. This was probably the price of pursuing freedom.
Lin Ye didn't know what the tal construct really was, nor the exact relationship between the tal construct and the young girl. But as long as he dealt with these 'batteries' of the tal construct, he should be able to stop the situation from worsening further.
"Huh? Why aren't you smiling anymore?"
Leaning against the corpses, Lin Ye smiled as he t the young girl's gaze.
