Chapter 246 The terrifying Ma Xinyi

"Brother, you...how did you become like this?"

Lin Dong looked at the man in the mirror through the mirror and frowned.

Luxurious carpets, dazzling chandeliers, and cyan bed curtains are facing a bookcase. Hanging on the cabinet is a bright bronze mirror that can reflect the portrait in detail, without even the smallest pores on the face. Let it go.

Ma Xinyi sat facing the mirror, with a rosy complexion and a deep look in his eyes.

Doesn't he look sick?

of course not.

There are dense tubes inserted into Ma Xinyi's arm, and the other end of the tube is connected to a machine at the bedside.

When Lin Dong stepped forward and tried to touch the machine, he received a prompt from the arsenal.

[Name: Mysterious Transformation Machine No. [-]! 】

[Origin: City of Raleye. 】

[Effect [-]: Create a symbiotic air film that allows alien life forms to coexist with the main life form. 】

[Effect [-]: Steam power, giving the main life form steam transformation and strengthening. 】

[Effect [-]: The Whisper of Madness, once transformed, will receive calls from the "Lord of R'lyeh" from time to time.At the same time, engine oil must be delivered at regular intervals. Engine oil is the nutrient for alien life. Once the delivery of alien life stops, it will be depleted and separated from the main body, causing immeasurable consequences. 】

[Special note: This is one of the greatest inventions of the previous era - the discoverer Isaac Newton, an academician of the Royal Academy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. 】

It looks like a convex iron block, a bit like an old TV from the 80s.

The difference is that this TV is covered with gears, springs, bolts, and some obscure round wheels covered with patina and rust.

The round wheel was constantly moving and rotating, and antennas were erected on the head of the machine, emitting a certain kind of magnetic field wave. The noise of clicking was constantly coming from the belly of the machine, and black engine oil was continuously injected into Ma Xinyi's body along the pipe.

Lin Dong was not the only one to be shocked by such a scene. Liu Daoren, who boasted that he had seen many storms, was also dumbfounded as he stared at this weird scene.

"You are here, third brother."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The two voices are very different.

Ma Xinyi's dark eyes stared at the reflection in the bronze mirror, with no expression of surprise, as if he had expected this scene.

This third brother is taller and stronger than before, and of course, his body has more vitality.

Lin Dong was so used to it that he didn't notice it. He just stood behind Ma Xinyi, and Ma Xinyi smelled a strong smell of blood that could not be dissipated. This was a special result of the sensitive air plugs in his nostrils after the body modification. strengthen.

"Brother, you, how did you become like this?"

Lin Dong lowered his voice and still repeated what he just said.

The shock brought by the scene before him could be regarded as completely breaking Lin Dong's understanding of the world.

If we talk about dragon energy that can be materialized, martial arts that can lift cannons with fists, black powder that can burn on the water, and even tentacles like Optimus Prime that break through the sea, there are traces to follow.To a certain extent, although there are some things that are beyond his understanding of the world, it does not reach the point of madness and is an acceptable level.So now Ma Xinyi was telling Lin Dong that the world was not as simple as it seemed, and the icebergs hidden under the sea were beyond his imagination.

To use another analogy, if the normal worldview in the previous life was a carriage.

So, now this carriage is heading towards the unfathomable abyss at a speed of 180 miles!
Go forward and never look back.

When Ma Xinyi opened his mouth, an old man with a white beard lying on his shoulder also spoke.

The phrase "Long time no see" came from the little old man.

The old man with a white beard only has half of his face, and the other half is a staggered combination of large and small gears, interlaced copper and gold metal wires, white bones, and squirming pink muscles.

Looks scarier than the devil.

In addition, Ma Xinyi's exposed arms do not have oil pipes inserted into certain holes, but through the hole-like gaps, we can see worn gears buried under the skin, pipes that transport black petroleum-like substances, and chains used to generate force. .

So what could be hiding beneath the skin of his chest?
heart?Or a power pump?
It's rough, messy, and has an inexplicable mechanical beauty to it. It's an ingenious design, orderly, and a unique feeling of coexistence of soul, flesh, and equipment and prosthetic limbs.

The chain drives the gear to rotate.

Sweat vapor was rising from Ma Xinyi's back, and emerged through the clothes made of Sichuan brocade.

Lin Dong vaguely seemed to see the interweaving and collision of two different civilizations in Ma Xinyi, but they happened to merge together again, with a strange beauty that is difficult to describe.

"Is it really scary?"

Liu Daoren said something from his heart for Lin Dong.

Similarly, Liu Daoren himself murmured in his heart that even if he died, he would not want to become like this, a human being, a ghost or a ghost.

"How have you been lately?"

"Do you need my help?"

Ma Xinyi asked again.

One person plays two roles, and a calm and sharp voice comes out of two mouths respectively. Lying on Ma Xinyi's shoulder, the white beard that is integrated with him smiles.

The gear presses a strange arc in the chain, and the corners of the other half of the face and mouth move, which can clearly convey a meaning that I am very happy about.

However, such a smile gave the three people present, Lin Dong, Liu Daoren, and Wu Rengui, a chill.

Wu Rengui's reaction to the white beard was also very strange. He even called the old man with the white beard on Ma Xinyi's shoulder, "Daddy."

"Dad, stop talking and let Master Ma speak."

Wu Rengui said so.

The strange scene in the cabin's inner room caused a dense layer of goosebumps to crawl on the skin on the back of Lin's hands, which was too permeable.

As soon as Wu Rengui said these words, the atmosphere in the room became even more depressing.

Lin Dong froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.

"The person on my shoulder is Wu Pinghu, Mr. Wu. When I separated from you, I met Mr. Wu and his party in Xuancheng. They were also preparing to enter Beijing because of the Steam Gear Conference, so we all walked together and took the waterway. I I also asked Wang Fu to deliver a message for you, so I didn’t meet you again, thinking it wouldn’t be too late to see you again in the capital.”

"Later there was a storm at sea, and the cargo ship sailed into an illusion created by the evil god, and encountered many strange and weird things. In the illusion, Mr. Wu was critically ill, and I was also in death. At the most critical moment, a man wearing a bird's beak mask appeared The doctor, who calls himself a doctor, shows up.”

"He performed an operation for us and promised to send us off after the operation was successful... After the freighter sailed out of the illusion, everything became like this."

Ma Xinyi glanced deeply at Lin Dong before telling the truth slowly and quickly.

He did not turn around or turn his head from beginning to end, but communicated with Lin Dong through the mirror.

"Mr. Wu is old and frail, and he lives in my body. From time to time he will go insane. He regards me as himself and subconsciously imitates my behavior, so he talks like this."

"..."

Lin Dong was silent for a long time.

After a while, he turned around and asked, "Master, do you have a way to restore my eldest brother to his original appearance?"

He asked with difficulty, but he didn't really have any hope.

"I?"

Liu Daoren felt pain in his heart and said helplessly: "This Dharma master, my master, is just a favor from people in the world. He has no ability to change his appearance like this. This kind of scene is unprecedented."

"In the southwest, there are rumors that there is a magic doctor with ghost hands who can change people's heads. The Wu family has a great business, so maybe we can give him a try."

After Liu Daoren thought for a moment, he slowly gave an idea.
