Chapter 159: The Big Secret of Hongdou

That thought just now seemed very safe.

A reward from the Lord of Thousand Faces!

Li Yu, as a live broadcast performer, what if he accepts it?

But is this thought necessarily true?

What if this idea is also a calculation?

Accepting it might mean completely falling into the trap of the Lord of Thousand Faces, and ending up miserably.

One must know that this is an extremely powerful and fun-loving Evil God who likes to calculate others and provoke wars.

These tangled thoughts didn't linger in Li Yu's heart for too long and soon dissipated.

Nothing else, if it was really the "Lord of Thousand Faces" calculating a Sequence Seven practitioner like him.

Then no matter how he hid, he couldn't escape; even if the True God 【Spirit Venerable】 of his path was still alive, He couldn't protect him all the time, not to mention the Spirit Venerable was gone.

Of course, it wasn't that there was absolutely no way.

"Accept the gift first, then use the truth bubble to check if there is a trap."

"Anyway, my thirteenth and fourteenth ones are both in a perfect state, and I have also reserved some charging paths; it is very appropriate to use one here."

"This 【Immortal Castle】 that looks like a broken mechanical thing can not only help me be promoted to Sequence Six, but it might also be of great use in the future."

With these thoughts flashing, Li Yu also made a decision.

First, he returned to the Ancient God Train alone and completely settled his new residence.

Although he didn't live with the other eight God-Chosen, it was actually about the same.

The City Lord's Mansion required Li Yu's broken mechanical castle not to be too far from the "Ancient God Camp," and he had to accept calls from time to time, waiting for tasks.

In addition, various material supplies had to go to the camp or return to Wanfu City.

He accepted all these requirements.

Li Yu's "situation" now was already far better than before.

Not only did he not have to endure the terrifying threat from the Sacred Nest, but the welfare treatment was also far superior to when he was in the ninth pioneer team.

This is the treatment of a genius!

It is also the embodiment of value.

"The fatal threat is temporarily lifted; I am settled here, which is also convenient for me to contact the people from the Tiangong Sect later."

"So the only thing I need to do next is one thing."

"That is to be promoted to the Spirit Venerable path Sequence 【Dao Doctor】."

"Imminent, cannot be delayed."

Li Yu thought so in his heart.

But he still didn't act immediately, such as looking for the Beyond the Sky Flame Essence and the blood tongue to refine the "Pill Fire Furnace" and "Sublimation Food."

Instead, he continued to wait for Hongdou's actions; she was comprehensively scanning, parsing, evaluating, and taking over the entire mechanical castle.

Once she succeeded, all the secrets in this castle would have nowhere to hide.

Only then would Li Yu take action.

During this process, he keenly sensed the emotions of the special mechanical life in front of him.

The little thing was spinning around nervously, and on the green crystal display screen in the shape of two eyes, symbols representing panic, sadness, expectation, etc., flashed alternately.

Obviously, it was trying hard to digest and accept the cruel reality that its "home" had added a new master.

Only when looking at its collection room would the red heart symbol representing happy emotions appear on its display screen, flashing wildly.

Because of the high intelligence and pure emotions it displayed, Li Yu didn't treat it as a machine or an object.

Instead, he subconsciously treated it as a human child.

Seeing this scene, he stepped forward and smiled, opening his mouth:

"Your collections all look very beautiful; can I visit them?"

"Or, you can introduce them."

Although Li Yu had not yet been promoted to Dao Doctor and had not yet obtained the affinity charm that even divine creatures could hardly exempt,

His high inspiration and charm were already completely over the standard; if someone practiced the Spirit Venerable path and was also a "Master of Alchemy," comparing charm alone, he would be crushed into slag by Li Yu.

In fact, practitioners who specialized in this path might not necessarily win against him.

This was a combination of the demon body, the blessing of the Vortex God's daughter Yi Ge, and Li Yu's own personal charm, which was quite heaven-defying.

For example, the little robot in front of him didn't resist.

Hearing his words and the gentle tone of asking him, the little thing immediately felt that this new master was completely different from any previous master.

On the display screen, first there was a question mark representing doubt.

Then, an exclamation mark.

Finally, it turned into a big laugh symbol representing excitement, and the round body spun in the air, and then it took the lead in front.

It began to introduce its collections to Li Yu one by one.

Li Yu did this initially out of politeness, and also to get closer to this special mechanical life, and also to leave time for Hongdou to control the entire castle.

Naturally, he didn't really care about the so-called collections.

But as the childish mechanical sound rang out one by one, the supernatural information attached to it made Li Yu couldn't help but look serious.

"Master, look at this scarlet gemstone; it is actually the excrement of a spirit realm monster named 【Star Essence】; although this monster is a nightmare for flesh-and-blood life, their excrement is very beautiful."

"Because the blood of the creatures they suck is different, even if it is the same Star Essence, the gemstones excreted every day are different, because some essence blood still remains inside; sometimes when they are extremely hungry, they will chew the gemstones again... In order to snatch this one, I was chased by a Star Essence for a long time, and fortunately, it was finally scared away by the power... anyway, it was scared away."

"This phantom scale, I picked it up; its owner was a special race named 【Heavenly Snake Human】, occupying a very large mystic domain; this race possesses very strong combat power; it is said that the poison they make can even poison gods."

"Of course, more importantly, their scales are good-looking."

"This emerald bead is really very beautiful; however, it was not snatched... I picked it up; it was given to me by a 'wanderer' who passed by."

"I suspect it was a god, or an avatar."

"But I have no evidence; this bead itself does not possess any divine power, it just looks good."

"Every ten years, it will erupt with an anomaly, releasing a green light lake that almost drowns the castle; it is simply beautiful to the extreme."

With the little robot's narration, the fifteenth truth bubble on Li Yu's eye membrane started charging again.

That's right!

These "broken collections" of the little thing seem to have no effect, but the supernatural information contained in them is all genuine.

To some extent, it counts as a spirit realm travel diary?

It is the witness of the little robot and the Immortal Castle wandering all the way.

At the same time, Li Yu also felt that these broken things might not really be broken; it just depends on how they are used.

The more he listened, the happier he became.

Not to mention anything else, just that "Star Essence Blood Gemstone," seemingly useless, can actually be used as bait to fish for Star Essence.

"The reward of the Lord of Thousand Faces is indeed generous; did I really pick up a treasure this time?"

"Big pick-up!" "The City Lord's Mansion is completely blind."

"These things seem to be waste garbage, hmm, to some extent they are indeed, but a not-small part of them has origins."

"The little thing drives a broken castle and can collect these things at home... it is impossible to be just as useless as it looks on the surface, even if this castle is constantly damaged and repaired, completely losing the power of the first version, turning into garbage."

"But since Hongdou judged: the little thing inherited everything from its first owner, naturally there is a possibility of restoration."

With this thought, Li Yu's gaze toward the little robot became even more eager.

He could choose to treat it as a "mechanical slave."

After all, it has already recognized the master on the surface!

But Li Yu didn't intend to do so.

In fact, even Hongdou, who is loyal to him and does whatever he asks, Li Yu has never mistreated.

After all, he is a soul from the previous life, and for existences with true high intelligence and high emotions, he will choose to treat them equally.

So at this moment, Li Yu praised sincerely:

=9+Book_Bar

"They are all very beautiful and good-looking collections; your taste is really good."

"I promise you, not only will I not destroy anything in your collection room, but I will also continue to support your collection hobby in the future."

It should be said that Li Yu is worthy of being someone who could make the Vortex God's daughter develop good feelings for him.

Two sincere sentences directly caused hot steam to erupt from the little robot's body, and a pair of green crystal display screens flashed with teary eyes, red hearts, exclamation marks, etc.

Obviously, the little thing's emotions fluctuated greatly and developed unprecedented trust in this new master.

This is easy to understand!

The little thing's previous few owners were not good goods.

After being captured by the City Lord's Mansion, it was probably treated as garbage.

Suddenly, a normal, friendly one came, and the favorability directly exploded.

So the next moment, when Li Yu asked a series of questions "unintentionally," the little thing gave a true answer without hesitation.

"Is your collection hobby from your creator?"

"What kind of existence is he? What race? What abilities does he possess?"

"What did this 【Immortal Castle】 look like at the beginning?"

"Yes, I like to collect these bright and good-looking strange objects, which is derived from my creator... this is one of the programs he set for me."

"I don't know what kind of existence he is; I hadn't really been born then, only having some ignorant consciousness."

"I occasionally heard him call himself 【Endless Collector】, 【Lord of Strange Objects】, etc."

"Hearing him talk about his collection goals, they are much bigger than me; he likes to collect those strange objects with true extraordinary value, strange objects or creatures that can witness history and participate in all big events... he will use all means to put his favorite things into his museum."

"His race seems to be somewhat similar to my current situation, a special soul carried by a mechanical iron lump."

"Sometimes he would say to me, who was still gestating, that he was an alien in the group, but he was very powerful, so he had nothing to fear."

"As for his abilities?"

"He seems to be able to pause time, making everything stop operating."

"The Immortal Castle was very new and very powerful at first, but in the hundreds of years that I gradually was born and took control of it, the castle suffered various accidental damages in the spirit realm."

"When the second owner arrived, the castle was already very old."

When these answers entered Li Yu's ears, his face paused.

Shock and surprise emerged at the same time.

Once again!

Li Yu was certain: he picked up a treasure, and the City Lord's Mansion was crazy blind.

Listen to the little thing's description!

Li Yu only felt that his horizons had been broadened again, and the facts were indeed so, because that fifteenth truth bubble was about to impact perfection again.

Undoubtedly, it was because he heard some high-level extraordinary secrets.

While happy, Li Yu's heart began to give birth to many guesses.

So the 【Immortal Castle】 was really powerful at first and possessed the function of traveling through the spirit realm.

The creator of this little thing was a powerhouse with an extremely high sequence, and might even be some kind of divine creature, not necessarily really dead.

A powerhouse who dares to call himself an Endless Collector and Lord of Strange Objects, and can pause time, would die inexplicably?

Li Yu shook his head secretly, expressing disbelief.

Just when Li Yu intended to continue asking, suddenly, a change occurred on Hongdou's side.

In her pair of fox eyes that originally flashed red light with regularity, miserable green radiance filled with cold, dead, and malicious intent suddenly began to emerge.

Warning sounds resounded throughout the castle.

"Di di di!"

"Warning warning, encountered unknown changes during the parsing process... Tiangong Secret Core encountered intrusion... enable reverse intrusion mode..."

"Intrusion failed... the other party's intelligence level is too high..."

"Preliminary parsing judgment: the intruder is a trap program left by some high-level intelligent life... Danger! Danger!"

"Tiangong Secret Core will be formatted... and controlled as some kind of zombie machine!"

When Li Yu heard this, his face changed drastically.

This kind of change was the first time.

Li Yu had some expectations about Hongdou's situation, knowing that it was impossible for her to be just a Linglong puppet.

There was likely a not-small secret hidden on her.

The reason why it wasn't touched at the beginning was also very simple.

At that time, the power of the truth bubble Li Yu used was too low.

Later, bubble after bubble, the power constantly increased, but he never had time to touch Hongdou again.

And in daily interaction and perception, Li Yu also had some guesses about Hongdou's situation.

She should have been a powerhouse or some amazing existence!

It was just that later, she encountered a big change, leading to the direct destruction of the Tiangong Secret Core, and the person also completely lost her memory.

So every time he repaired a little bit of her secret core, she would undergo huge changes.

In the many days since then, Li Yu's reliance on his mechanical maid had long become very deep.

He had also long planned to find an opportunity to use a truth bubble on Hongdou, both to figure out her situation and to see if he could find a solution for her.

For example, after settling in this new residence!

But unexpectedly, such a big change came suddenly.

At this moment, when Li Yu heard that Hongdou might be formatted.

He didn't hesitate at all, directly shattering the thirteenth truth bubble.

The Truth Soul Body left the body and touched Hongdou.
