Jiang Wen and the woman asked a question, and the mechanical man answered. He said that this place was called Bianmo Town, and further ahead was Mo City. As for mechanical beings and humans, the mechanical man knew nothing.
When asked about his origins, he said that he was born here, the descendant of the chief of Bianmo Town. He spends his days enjoying himself and doesn't know much else.
Seeing that the mechanical man was a playboy, Jiang Wen didn't bother with him. He touched the mechanical man's bronze head, and a flashing triangle could be seen inside.
"Could this be the soul core the mechanical man was talking about?" Jiang Wen looked at the soul core, which was exactly the same as the triangle in the Feather God Temple, just a miniature version of that thing.
Tentatively using his divine sense to touch this triangle, the next moment Jiang Wen's mind was filled with the mechanical man's memories.
The memories were simple, just wandering around the town every day, amusing himself with the female mechanical beings and merging with their soul cores. It was said that this would create a chance to give birth to small soul cores, thereby creating offspring.
After examining the mechanical man's memory, Jiang Wen gained a better understanding of the lives of mechanical beings. This social structure is similar to that of humans, making it hard not to suspect that these mechanical beings are a type of human?
With questions in his mind, Jiang Wen slightly altered the mechanical man's memory.
After sending the mechanical man back with the nameless woman, the two returned to their residence.
Discussing going to Mo City, which the mechanical man mentioned, the two bought some things the next day and headed towards Mo City.
However, something unexpected happened on the way. As the nameless woman approached Mo City, she suffered unbearable headaches. It seemed that something in Mo City repelled her, preventing her from stepping inside.
Therefore, Jiang Wen decided to go in alone to scout the situation and see what kind of place Mo City was.
… …
Entering Mo City, he saw towering buildings and palaces standing in rows, more impressive than even the modern world.
Various mechanical beings came and went, carriages and horses flowed endlessly, and all kinds of phantom compasses flickered between the streets.
Jiang Wen was engrossed in the sight when he suddenly heard a shout from behind.
"Make way! Make way!"
The shouting broke the silence, and amidst the surprised expressions of passersby, a girl with cat ears agilely overcame various obstacles.
Behind her, two burly mechanical beings were chasing after her, staring wide-eyed at the girl running into the alley.
"Stop! Stop!"
"Who listens to you! Dumb metal! Nyah nyah nyah!" The girl made a funny face, sticking her tongue out at the two men, making their faces flush red, wishing they could immediately fly over and grab the girl.
"Want to catch me? Not a chance."
The girl crossed a railing and ran into the alley, twirling a black object in her hand, her face relaxed and content.
Before she could be complacent for long, the buzzing sound from mid-air made her lips droop. Looking back at the sky, two bronze giant birds were closely following.
"How annoying, they even sent out the winged birds. I didn't take anything important, did I?" The girl frowned, quickening her pace.
"I'm not playing with you anymore, bye-bye!" The girl waved at the bronze giant birds and suddenly leaped up.
Just as she was about to land, she happened to see Jiang Wen appearing in front of her.
The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes, her expression becoming somewhat panicked.
Without a doubt, she collided with Jiang Wen. Like a ball of fluff, the girl tumbled several times on the ground before barely stabilizing herself.
"Hey! You!" The girl stood up and glared angrily at Jiang Wen, about to say something when the sound of the bronze birds came from afar.
"Forget it, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Glaring unwillingly at Jiang Wen lying on the ground, the girl quickly left the spot.
At the same time as she left, the two bronze giant birds also swept past from above, not paying any attention to Jiang Wen on the side.
Jiang Wen looked at the sky and rubbed his aching arm. He didn't expect the girl to be so strong. Even though his body was as solid as a rock and impervious to weapons, he couldn't help but feel some pain.
"This girl resembles a human, but I didn't feel any warmth on her body just now, so she's probably not a living person."
No longer dwelling on whether the girl was human, Jiang Wen's gaze was attracted by the black object on the ground. He picked it up and examined it carefully.
"What is this? It looks like a box for storing things." Jiang Wen examined the object and found no opening. The black thing only had an interface, somewhat like a modern hard drive. However, there were no electronic devices in this world, so it shouldn't be a hard drive.
Just putting the thing away, he prepared to observe the situation in Mo City further and then go back to find the nameless woman.
Just as Jiang Wen finished planning his next step, he was unsurprisingly stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Looking at the guy who reached out to block his way, it was a girl with cat ears wearing an embroidered dress.
Pink hair fluttered in the wind, and the girl's beautiful big eyes glared at him angrily.
"Give it back!" A clear female voice echoed.
"Give what back?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile. "I don't think I took anything from you."
"You definitely took it! You bumped into me just now!" Pointing at Jiang Wen, the girl's face was indignant. "If you hadn't blocked my way, I wouldn't have had such a hard time shaking off the pursuit just now. You even took my things and won't admit it, don't go too far!"
"So it's you." Jiang Wen pretended to realize after hearing this. He took out the black object from his pocket and handed it to the girl. "Is this yours?"
"It's mine." The girl was stunned when she saw the black object, then widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Wen. Probably surprised that this person so honestly handed over the thing, just as the girl was about to take the thing, several voices sounded around.
"Finally caught you, brat. Didn't expect you to have an accomplice."
Jiang Wen looked towards the sound and saw several tall mechanical beings with black paint all over their bodies standing in front of them. Their arms unfolded like blades, revealing sharp weapons inside.
"… … What is this? Why does it feel like a mechanical being's weapon?" Jiang Wen suddenly felt unfamiliar with this world. He didn't expect to see such an exciting scene as soon as he arrived in this Mo City.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you!" The girl beside him didn't show any weakness. Jiang Wen watched her stretch out her finger, and a sharp blade popped out from her fingertip.
Jiang Wen couldn't help but widen his eyes.
If it were a magical treasure, he could understand. But the palm transforming into a sharp weapon was somewhat like the movies he had seen. It seemed that this girl was no ordinary person, probably inseparable from mechanical beings.
But why could she look like a human? This was what Jiang Wen was quite concerned about.
