Bankruptcy beast.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. This was his first time entering the core of [Rat], but this mechanical mouse could accurately tell his identity as an abnormal login person in the Six Paths World.

It seems that his previous guess was correct. The forbidden land and even all the forbidden lands, together with the six paths world, are controlled by a certain system or force.

Or maybe the Six Paths World is this controller, which would also explain why the coordinates of the forbidden land can be obtained within the Six Paths World.

"Yes, I was waiting when you first opened the entrance to the secret realm."

The mechanical mouse nodded slightly, glanced at Fa Cai and other pet spirits who were watching eagerly, and said: "But your companions were still very weak at that time."

Da da!

When the mechanical mouse said this, Fa Cai got furious. Just as he was about to take action, the golden bowl instantly drained all his energy. He could only go back silently to refine the gold energy.

Hong Zhong, on the contrary, was not angry at the words of the mechanical mouse. He glanced at the mechanical mouse indifferently and fell asleep.

Although the true spirit was not hurt, the side effects of the burning soul were still significant, and could only be compensated by sleeping.

Besides, the cat didn't feel any malice from the mechanical mouse.

"I'm sorry. I'd like to use more gentle words, but your strength is indeed very weak compared to the enemy that is about to come."

The mechanical mouse apologized very consciously, but the words sounded a bit harsh to Jiang Chen's ears.

Is the enemy coming, a demon or... an avalanche?
"I know what you are thinking. Yes, the enemies I am talking about are demons, and they are very close to here."

The mechanical mouse paused and said, "My authority does not allow me to say too much, but since you have seen it, it is okay to say a little."

At this point, the mechanical mouse's voice suddenly became serious, and said: "In one year, the demon army will descend, and the world will be destroyed!"

"This world must accept evolution!"

"The demon army is going to arrive in a year?!"

Jiang Chen's face changed. He had personally verified the fighting power of demons. It was quite troublesome to deal with both the large number of little demons and the big demons with strong bodies.

And such an enemy is going to invade here at the scale of a legion, and just one year later. This is definitely the worst news!

Thinking of the traces of demons seen behind the demon portal, a sense of urgency suddenly enveloped Jiang Chen's heart.

Although Hongzhong eliminated a large number of demons, they were only a small part. There were more and stronger demons approaching from behind.

With that number of people, it would probably take the four major families joining forces to have a chance of stopping them.

"That's right, and the vanguard of the demon army is already very close to this world, but they haven't found the coordinates yet and can't descend."

The mechanic teacher nodded and said, "What you erased today was one of the coordinates discovered by the demon. Fortunately, you are very powerful, otherwise the demon team would have completely descended."

"Wait a minute, you said the Devil Squad?"

Jiang Chen's face changed and he said, "The demons I saw were just a small team?!"

What a joke, there were already hundreds of demons killed in Hongzhong alone, and these were just a drop in the bucket of that batch of demons.

Such a large number of demons are actually just a small group of demons.

"The power of the devil is far beyond your imagination, even..."

The mechanical mouse's voice suddenly stopped, and its originally blue mechanical eyes suddenly turned blood red, but soon returned to normal.

"I've said too much, but I think you should already understand how terrifying demons are."

The mechanical mouse paused and said, "I have other tasks to do, so I can't do it myself. I can only provide appropriate assistance within the scope of my authority."

"So these enemies still need to be dealt with by you humans."

"Can't you help?"

Jiang Chen subconsciously imagined the huge illusory hand and was hesitant to speak.

"That's right. My main task is to protect this secret place from being destroyed. I can't do anything else."

The mechanical mouse nodded and said, "The core instruction our master gave us is to protect, so... I'm sorry."

"Ok."

Jiang Chen felt a little regretful. The mechanical mouse was very powerful, so powerful that he felt that the solar creatures were no match for the mechanical mouse.

And from what the mechanical mice said, they seemed to have a strong preference for humans?
If the mechanical mouse could take action, the evil spirits in the wilderness would hardly pose a threat.

"I'm sorry. We did provide a lot of care to humans in the past three hundred years, but that was only to ensure that humans would not be extinct. We will not help humans eliminate external threats."

"A race without external threats will eventually be destroyed, which is inconsistent with our master's original intention."

"Only crisis can bring about evolution, and this world is in urgent need of evolution!"

"If humans can't do it, we don't mind protecting other races."

The mechanical mouse seemed to see through Jiang Chen's thoughts and directly shattered Jiang Chen's hopes.

"According to regulations, I cannot meet with non-key owners for too long, so if you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible and I will answer them as appropriate."

Hearing what the mechanical mouse said, Jiang Chen also collected his thoughts and immediately asked, "You just mentioned the secret realm. Is the third level of this forbidden land different from the two levels outside?"

"The forbidden land is just what you humans call it. To us, it is just a special space formed by the radiation from the secret realm."

The mechanical mouse shook its head and said, "The secret realm is a small world that can only be created by extraordinary creatures after they have comprehended their own laws to the extreme. These small worlds will provide great power to the creators." "And when the secret realm is separated from the creator and fixed on the main world, it will radiate the surrounding space, gradually changing its properties, and forming what you call a forbidden place."

At this point, the mechanical mouse paused and said, "Some of you humans have begun to peek into the power of the secret realm and have tried to create a secret realm yourself."

"That's great. Humans need this kind of exploration and creativity, but they have also touched upon something dangerous. If possible, I hope you can help guide them, otherwise it will hinder the process of world evolution."

When Jiang Chen heard the mechanical mouse's words, the image of Avalanche suddenly appeared in his mind.

It seems that the only company that has the ability to do this and has already started to do so is Avalanche.

But this guided avalanche...

Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth. The only Avalanche member he had come into contact with so far was the Bishop, and he had been beaten badly. Asking him to guide them... would have to wait another two years.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's mood suddenly became heavy again.

It seems that this devil is not going to give him two years.

He needs to improve his strength as much as possible in the coming year.

No, it is to improve the strength of the people around you!
Facing the demon army, it was impossible for him to defeat them alone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately asked the second question.

"Were the Six Paths World and the Twelve Forbidden Lands left behind by the same person?"

Jiang Chen pronounced the word "人" a little more heavily, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

"It doesn't count."

The mechanical mouse shook his head and said, "The Six Paths World and the Twelve Forbidden Lands have different origins, but if we trace them back to the beginning, they can be considered to have been left by the same person."

Jiang Chen remained silent and did not continue asking questions because he already had a rough answer in his mind.

"The last question is, what are the six realms and the forbidden land?"

This question has troubled Jiang Chen for a long time, and after seeing the mechanical mouse, this confusion became even more serious.

His impression of the forbidden land has changed many times.

Before becoming an imperial envoy, this was a mysterious place that existed only in legends.

After becoming a royal master, this is a dangerous place that only strong people can approach.

After accidentally entering a highly toxic forbidden area, it becomes a contradictory place where crises and risks coexist.

After obtaining multiple keys, this place becomes a treasure land full of opportunities.

But now, these previous impressions were covered with a thin veil, making it difficult for him to locate the significance of the forbidden land.

Perhaps, as the mechanical mouse said, the forbidden land is just a special space radiated by the secret realm.

But Jiang Chen wanted to know more than just that. He wanted to know what that person wanted to do by creating these forbidden places.

"This question is beyond my authority and I cannot answer it."

Faced with Jiang Chen's disappointed look, the mechanical mouse shook its head and did not give an answer.

"I can only give you one sentence. This world needs evolution, and what we are protecting is also evolution."

The mechanical mouse looked at Jiang Chen deeply and said, "As the successor of evolution, I hope you can develop your true power, otherwise this world will eventually be destroyed."

"That person has been waiting for you for too long."

"Wait for me? Are you saying that the person who arranged all this knows about my existence?"

Jiang Chen suddenly perked up and immediately stepped forward to ask.

As a time traveler, he was very secretive about his true identity and never told anyone about it.

But the look from the mechanical mouse just now seemed to have seen through it completely.

Jiang Chen even felt that this mechanical mouse knew of the existence of the manor!

However, the mechanical mouse seemed not to want to pay any more attention to Jiang Chen. Its eyes flashed, and everything around Jiang Chen turned into chaos.

The only sound that could be heard was the sound of a mechanical mouse.

"Hurry up and evolve. There is no time to waste in this world."

"Whether to fight against foreign aggression or maintain domestic stability, everything is in your hands."

"Go ahead. We will be watching over you and protecting you in this corner of the world..."

The sound of the mechanical mouse gradually dissipated, and the scene in front of Jiang Chen changed accordingly, and he returned to the forest on the first floor.

"This guy, can't you explain yourself more clearly?"

Jiang Chen's face was full of helplessness. He listened to the last words lingering in his ears and sighed heavily.

"But at least I know this guy's name. It turns out that the name of this forbidden place is the code name of the core guardian."

"Rat... Could it be that the guardians of other forbidden places are also these mechanical life forms?" (End of this chapter)
