Chapter 260 You Have Done a Good Job

People yearn for the unknown, so they explore the starry sky.

People fear the unknown, so they fear the darkness.

The unknown means variables, full of infinite possibilities. People fear such variables, fear the future they don't want to see.

As it should be.

The figure with his head down, the figure that Ai Lei was worried about, his abnormal behavior made the servitor feel uneasy.

"...Master."

"What's wrong, Ai Lei."

Luckily.

The soft call was answered.

In the bridge with flashing lights, the environment became a little dim, highlighting a bit of sadness and misery, and even Xu Xi's face looked a lot paler.

However, it is true that there are no wounds or blood on Xu Xi's body.

Looking at the familiar facial features, Ai Lei's restless heart calmed down.

"No, I'm fine", the machine endowed with human nature, offered blessings in a calm voice, "Ai Lei just wants to tell you that I will definitely protect you."

The words are so solemn.

That Xu Xi was stunned.

Immediately, he chuckled and nodded. His body was too heavy, so he couldn't even fake a complete smile.

He could only raise the corners of his mouth a little.

"Well, I believe in Ai Lei."

Outside the ship, the curved space became more obvious, and the stars were pulled into an abstract oil painting.

The curvature engine was running in an overloaded state, and the gravity generator, antimatter engine, and element decay engine jointly supported the superluminal navigation of the pitch-black starship.

From a distance, the high-speed starship was located in a distorted space bubble.

With the neutron battle star behind.

Launched a superluminal curvature chase.

Calling it a chase, it actually exaggerated the pitch-black starship a bit. There were no cutting-edge weapons to break through the defense, nor any feasible defense devices.

The neutron battle star was the ultimate trinity of attack, defense, and speed.

In the face of the desperate sense of oppression, the only thing the pitch-black starship could do was to continuously increase the output of the curvature engine and try to break out of the cage.

"Deviation is being calculated, time is being calculated, success rate is decreasing..."

The computer inside the starship.

Aile continued to perform fine manipulation, and the calculation results of all the data were that her starship would be caught up and shot down by the Neutron Star.

As both are curvature engines, the output of the Neutron Star is obviously much higher.

"...Absolutely not...Absolutely not..."

I can't accept such a fact.

Fear of such a fact.

The data without emotions fluctuated like a person at this moment, doing its best to overdraw the limit of computing power.

But it was still useless.

The starship has successfully jumped to the top of the high wall, and it is only a short distance away from completely breaking out of the cage.

But that distance is enough for the Neutron Star to approach and perform more than a hundred space splits.

"No..."

"I must protect the master..."

The overly desperate reality and the beautiful wishes in my heart formed an unprecedented conflict. The machine soul, which was already amazing in computing power, seemed to have ushered in subtle changes.

But that change still could not bring victory.

"Wait, this is..."

Very sudden.

The overall output of the starship increased again.

At the peak that should be impossible and has reached the limit, a miraculous performance leap occurred.

Rush out, must rush out!

I have no intention to think about the reason for the performance change.

Ai Lei controlled the starship, with a posture of transcending everything and disintegrating everything, and rushed into the gravitational gap leading to the real universe with a brief performance increase.

Light is stagnating.

Time is still.

Space, turned into a string.

After escaping from the cage of the starry sky, the scene of things changed accordingly, presenting a gorgeous and bizarre scene.

Moreover, at the first moment of successful escape, the curvature starship broke down and was damaged on the spot.

It's amazing.

After enduring multiple space splits and overloading the curvature engine, this prototype starship can support it until now before it is scrapped.

The neutron battle star did not chase, as if it was confined in that cage.

Because it is impossible to judge whether there will be subsequent pursuit.

Therefore, Ai Lei decided to start the escape pod, abandon the useless scrapped hull, and take Xu Xi to escape further.

"... Master?"

Ai Lei re-entered the humanoid body.

She opened her eyes and saw a familiar figure, still keeping his head down to rest.

The angle of his head down made his face hidden in the shadows, and his specific expression could not be seen clearly.

Motionless.

Extremely quiet.

The body still remained young, but the invisible things inside were like candlelight in the wind, so weak that they could not be detected.

"... I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you."

The mechanical body trembled slightly.

Ai Lei half-crouched down, and in the lightless darkness, she slowly held Xu Xi's palm. The trembling movement was too gentle, as if she was touching something extremely fragile.

Perhaps she heard Ai Lei's voice.

Or perhaps she felt the warmth of her hand.

Xu Xi, who had overdrawn his own spirit, tiredly opened his eyes and asked softly in a hoarse voice.

"Ailei, have we left the cage?"

"Yes, Master."

"Haha... cough, it's good that we left."

"But I didn't do well enough, I failed to protect you."

"It's okay, Ailei... you've done very well, really well..."

Xu Xi squinted his eyes, he felt that his eyes were a little cloudy, and it was difficult to see the robot servant in front of him, so he tried to stand up.

But just when he wanted to stand up.

He lost sight of his vision.

[People often name incredible achievements as "miracles"]

[And you are the "miracle" itself]

[Your persistence moved the machine soul, making the output of the curvature engine reach an unprecedented height, all thanks to the machine soul to maintain it from collapsing]

[Correspondingly, you have been eroded more]

[It's not just the mental changes, even the body is also exhausted, you can't control your weakness]

[From Ai Lei, you learned that you successfully escaped from the cage. This news made you feel relieved, and you fainted again in front of Ai Lei]

[The loyal machine servant held you and took the starship's escape pod to leave and flew to the nearest planetary system, Not long after you left, the decommissioned hull of the Curvature Starship was destroyed]

[When you woke up again, you were in the medical cabin prepared by Ailei]

[Your body was receiving treatment]

[But in your opinion, your body and spirit have both entered "death"]

[In the past, you only lost your emotional changes when you were eroded by the machine soul, but now, you have fallen into a deeper void]

[You can no longer feel cold or hot, and the void begins to eat away at you]

[It is an indescribable feeling, as if everything has been stripped away, causing you to overdraw your body and mind, passively waiting for the end of extinction]
