Chapter 1362 - 526: Stance_2
He only said one sentence and walked straight on, and seeing Lin Xian leave, Sha Sha quietly said to KIKI"Sister KIKI, Brother Lin’s expression seems off, did something happen?"
"Who knows."
KIKI looked at Lin Xian’s back from afar, furrowing her brows slightly, and pouted, "Probably ran into some difficult problem during the discussion."
"Huh? It’s not another mountain-sized monster, is it?"
Sha Sha widened her eyes and sighed helplessly, "We’re already on track, just keep going along the track, won’t we?"
"What if the monster gobbles up all the tracks ahead?"
"Even if it eats them all, Brother Lin can build new ones, unless it devours all of South America!" Sha Sha said indignantly.
"Tsk, you’re such a jinx." KIKI used telekinesis to pinch her little mouth remotely, "Didn’t Brother Lin repair a Planet Raider for you and combine your Flying Peach with it, making it almost an 80% version of the ’No.1 Machine,’ right? Why don’t you study it?"
"The robot is still being built~" Sha Sha said happily, "Brother Lin also installed the mecha arm from the Black Tortoise and the Vermilion Bird Diffraction Sword from the Vermilion Bird on it for me. It can’t be called the 80% version No.1 Machine, that’s the No.1 Machine PLUS version!"
"Oh, that’s really impressive."
...
"Captain Lin."
"Captain Lin."
In Car 4, Little Yuan Miaolou watched Lin Xian walk over and greeted him with a smile. Lin Xian nodded in response and quickly walked past without stopping.
In Car 5, Brother Huo and Da Lou were playing chess.
In Car 6, Lin Xian saw Mo Xiaotian practicing lightning, and a group gathered eating with his Infinity companions.
He walked all the way through, a mess in his head, unable to find any thoughts, but Mochizuki Masashi’s words made him realize a problem.
"Finished the meeting?"
Lin Xian looked up to find that he had reached the end of the Infinity’s cars, and Chu Yan opened the automatic door, standing by it, looking at him.
Car 12, originally Monica’s resting area, is now temporarily occupied by Chu Yan since Monica moved into the Sky Dome Train with her team and hasn’t come down yet.
Lin Xian nodded, "We’re about to depart, I was patrolling."
After speaking, he turned to leave, but just as he was about to depart, Chu Yan suddenly said
"Are you worried about the Foundation’s affairs?"
Lin Xian paused and turned back, "Can you know what I’m thinking?"
"I guessed, only when our consciousness is united do I know what you’re thinking." Chu Yan crossed her arms and looked at him, "But based on this link, I can sense your sensory awareness."
"What do you mean?"
"For example, pain."
Lin Xian frowned, "Occasionally or often?"
"It used to be occasional, now it’s frequent."
"What?" Lin Xian looked surprised, "So you..."
"I don’t want to either, but I have to remind you, be careful to restrain." Chu Yan turned away, unintentionally smiling slightly.
Lin Xian felt speechless and followed her directly, "This is nonsensical, is this invading my privacy?"
"With our consciousness united, you have no secrets from me in the first place." Chu Yan said.
Lin Xian was anxious, "But that’s different, can memories and real-time events be the same?"
"Do you think I want this?"
"Then why can’t I sense yours?"
"Because I am a Spiritual Ability User."
Lin Xian: ...
Chu Yan’s words made him feel like exploding on the spot; she could receive all his senses, meaning in the past, when he was with Teacher Chen...
"You care a lot, don’t you?" Chu Yan asked.
"I care a lot!" Lin Xian looked annoyed, "It’s like I have no personality, like I’m stripped bare in front of you all."
"Us?"
"You’re part of the Phoenix Society, you know Professor Ye and the others must know?!"
"It’s not that severe, only I can observe all memories and senses."
"I don’t believe it."
"I just said, because I am a Spiritual Ability User, and linked with you, only then can I perceive all this." Chu Yan responded.
"Even so, I have no personality in front of you." Lin Xian looked resentful.
Chu Yan’s gaze swept over him, her expression slightly changed, and then she reached back and pulled off her inner liner suit, stripping completely in front of Lin Xian.
Lin Xian looked at the scene, surprised, he said
"What are you doing?"
"Helping you find some personality." Chu Yan casually threw the inner liner suit to the ground and stood casually in front of Lin Xian, supporting her waist with one hand, "Didn’t you say it’s like being stripped bare in front of me? Does this make you feel better?"
What logic is this?
Lin Xian was stunned, the Chu Yan before him was naked, her arms and legs were silver prosthetics, energy lines extended from her neck to the back of her head.
Yet from the thighs up, her body was still a snow-white, creamy female form, with a flat stomach beneath the twin peaks bearing some abdominal muscle texture, a slender waist, and intricate lines gathering between her legs, looking extremely enchanting.
This was completely a perfect body combining machinery and humanity; Chu Yan’s face showed no embarrassment, calmly and confidently standing in place and looking at him.
"Satisfied? Anyway, it’s not our first time seeing each other like this."
Indeed, Lin Xian had seen Chu Yan’s body before; when united with gray mist messenger, and the consciousness meeting inside the Civilization Preview Ball, he saw Chu Yan all bare.
But it was different; because that was consciousness, essentially he saw Chu Yan’s complete body under her self-awareness, not altered by prosthetic limbs.
In a sense, it could be viewed as a state of self-simulation.
But now, it was Chu Yan in reality.
This was the Chu Yan with whom he fought side by side, flying and running.
However, seeing this scene made Lin Xian’s eyes devoid of any lust, and instead, his expression turned cold.
"You also have something to say to me?"
Chu Yan’s expression subtly changed, she stepped closer to Lin Xian, looked at him and said
"You’re questioning Commander Ye, questioning the Phoenix Society?"
Lin Xian said nothing.
Chu Yan’s expression flickered, her eyes showed some complexity, she grabbed Lin Xian’s hand and placed it on her brow.
"I can let you enter my consciousness once more, without holding back."
"Why?"
"I just want to tell you, my position is the same as yours."
Lin Xian looked at her
"Do you know what the Foundation’s goal ultimately is?"
Chu Yan shook her head, "I know they want to erase your consciousness, but not kill you, we discussed the reasons for this before."
Lin Xian took a deep breath, "Alright, understood."
Chu Yan reached out to hold him, speaking in a tone of pleading, "I want to know what you’re thinking, will you tell me?"
Lin Xian was silent.
Chu Yan slowly approached him, reaching out to embrace Lin Xian, "I’ve always thought there must be some reason for our psychic link, starting from Yu Bei City, I wondered if it was fate, destined to fight side by side. After Dawn City, my trust in you surpassed anyone else. I know when you access my consciousness, there are many things you can’t see, coupled with the Foundation’s affairs, you’re speculating, wondering which faction I belong to."
"Actually, I’ve thought about that myself, my initial intention of joining the North American United Front was singular, to fight for human civilization."
"But ever since the Civilization Preview Ball stripped away that part of my recognition of you by the Tower People, I feel like some human emotion was lost—pain, sadness, love, I feel I’m becoming more like a robot, and being close to you, I seem to sense those emotions again."
"I heard them say your dream is for Infinity to soar into the sky; when I heard that, I thought if I merge my consciousness with yours and follow you away from Star Abyss, and fly to Far Star, would that be okay."
"In that case, I’d have no stance." She looked up at Lin Xian, and a tear without expression slid down her cheek.
"Or, you are my stance."
