Chapter 408: Turning Point
Thus, the situation reached a stalemate.Even Cheng Yushu, the person involved, didn’t know what to do.
Su Hanjing gently wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth and asked softly, "Then what about the invasion you just mentioned?"
Cheng Yushu shook his head.
"I don’t know."
"The signal frequency of the Insect Race is different from that of humans."
"With the current human technology, it’s utterly impossible to capture the signal fluctuations between the Insect Race, let alone invade their signal domain."
"The only explanation is..."
Cheng Yushu seemed to have thought of something, furrowing his brows tightly.
"What is the only explanation?" Su Hanjing pressed on.
"Something’s wrong on Ruan Ruan’s side." Cheng Yushu’s expression became gradually serious, "Perhaps there’s a problem during her special period, or for some reason, she’s been able to access the Insect Race’s signal domain."
"Hanjing, where’s your Light Brain?"
"Get in touch with Ruan Ruan."
Only then did Su Hanjing remember that she hadn’t brought the Light Brain with her these past few days because of Cheng Yushu’s special period.
Hearing Cheng Yushu say this, she hurriedly went to get the Light Brain, opened it, and found that Ruan Ruan and Xiao Nian had sent her many messages.
Su Hanjing quickly scanned through the messages, "There’s indeed a problem on Ruan Ruan’s side."
"Ruan Ruan says she’s also reached a special period but hears many voices that keep ringing in her head."
Cheng Yushu nodded slightly, "That might be the signal fluctuations emitted by those low-level Insect Race."
"Ruan Ruan hasn’t mastered the transmission and shielding of the Insect Race signals yet, and she might have received all the signals those low-level Insect Race emitted in an instant."
"Reply to her."
"Let her try to control her spiritual power, focusing on one point and concentrating on just one voice."
Following Cheng Yushu’s instructions, Su Hanjing quickly sent a reply.
But neither of them expected that Su Ruan, who had already entered the secret chamber, would not be able to receive their message.
The secret chamber was completely sealed and shielded from external signals, and even the signal fluctuations of the Insect Race couldn’t penetrate here, let alone the transmission of the human Star Network.
At this moment, Su Ruan had no idea what was happening to her; she only felt that her vision was becoming increasingly blurred, to the point where she almost couldn’t see Lu Shinian’s figure.
She blinked hard, carefully gazing at Lu Shinian in front of her, as if trying to imprint his image deeply into her pupils.
Even if she really lost her sight in the future, she could find his likeness in her memory.
Seeing Su Ruan staring at him, Lu Shinian leaned closer, "Ruan Ruan, what’s wrong?"
Su Ruan shook her head, softly saying, "Nothing, I just want to look at you."
Unbeknownst to her, her pupils had turned even redder.
As if they had been dyed with blood.
Lu Shinian’s eyelashes fluttered as he held her in his arms, whispering, "It will be okay."
His spiritual power poured out, enveloping the entire secret chamber, then condensed into a mass, moving toward the small antenna on top of Su Ruan’s head.
The reddened tip seemed to have received some kind of signal and began to absorb Lu Shinian’s spiritual power frantically.
Su Ruan noticed Lu Shinian’s action and tried to push him away but found herself held even tighter by him.
"It will be okay," Lu Shinian repeated in a low voice, holding her firmly in his embrace.
The Illusion Insect lying on the ground also seemed to sense something and leapt onto Su Ruan’s head, lazily absorbing Lu Shinian’s spiritual power.
The screen of the Light Brain on Su Ruan’s wrist flickered wildly, and a small human figure was projected in mid-air.
[Master!]
It was Tangtang 007.
Su Ruan tried to widen her eyes, looking at Tangtang, [Tangtang, why did you come out?]
[I sensed the power of Destruction.] Tangtang looked at Lu Shinian, her eyes holding a trace of lingering fear, [A long time ago, when I escaped from the main brain, it was this very power that injured me.]
Su Ruan was taken aback, glancing at Lu Shinian.
"Did you hurt Tangtang before?"
"No," Lu Shinian shook his head, "I have no memory of that."
After pausing for two seconds, seeming to remember something, he frowned slightly.
"But when I first merged with the Insect Queen’s crystal core, I often lost control, so I would go to the Second World to unleash it."
Essentially, the Second World is composed of signal fluctuations.
And the Insect Queen, who can control signal fluctuations, might have unintentionally attacked Tangtang at the time using signal fluctuations, causing her to be injured and inadvertently drawn into Su Ruan’s Light Brain.
This inadvertent entry resulted in her recognizing Su Ruan as her master, lasting until now.
Round and round, it still came back to Lu Shinian.
"I see," Su Ruan murmured in agreement.
The darkness in front of her eyes deepened.
She blinked, concentrating on looking at Lu Shinian.
Meanwhile, Tangtang was eyeing Little White on top of Su Ruan’s head; afterwards, she softly spoke: [Master, I can merge with Little White.]
"What?" Su Ruan paused in surprise, "Why merge with Little White?"
[Because, Master, you’re now constructing a new Signal Domain, similar to the Star Network.] Tangtang could feel the unfamiliar signal fluctuations, but due to the different frequencies, she couldn’t fully capture it.
However, Little White seemed to be able to capture those signal fluctuations.
Probably because Little White is also from the Insect Race.
"I’m not constructing a new Star..." Before she could finish her sentence, Su Ruan’s eyes slowly widened.
She had an extremely absurd guess.
Could the voices she heard be the ones Aiers spoke of, the low-level Insect Race struggling to awaken suddenly?
The reason she couldn’t hear those voices might be because Aiers and the others suppressed those low-level Insect Race.
And now that she couldn’t see, could it be because the low-level Insect Race had fallen asleep, causing her vision to follow into darkness?
This idea was indeed too absurd and bizarre, as if she had become the Signal Domain itself.
But Su Ruan vaguely felt that this seemed to be the truth.
After a brief silence, Lu Shinian spoke first, "Try it."
If doing so would restore Ruan Ruan to normal, then it was something that had to be done no matter what.
Su Ruan, however, still had some hesitations.
"Tangtang, what would the impact be if you merged with Little White?"
Tangtang obediently shook her little head.
[There won’t be any.]
[It would actually be beneficial for me; I might even be able to manage a Star Network like the main brain.]
[That way, I’d become as powerful as the main brain~]
"What about Little White?" Su Ruan asked further.
Little White bounced down, nudging Su Ruan’s fingertips with its little head, and shook its little head as well.
The implication was that there would be no impact.
Su Ruan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Little White and Tangtang had been with her for a long time, and she didn’t want to cause them harm because of her situation.
But Lu Shinian clearly wouldn’t have minded so much; even if Su Ruan didn’t agree, he would have insisted on their fusion.
Fortunately, Su Ruan nodded in agreement.
