Chapter 412 A “Baby”?

Lin Xiyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

She looked at the golden thing that had taken her place on the sofa, examining it from head to toe to see if there was anything wrong with it.

"Alright, let's go."

After confirming that everything was correct, Lin Xiyue nodded slightly, then turned to the system and spoke.

Before she finished speaking, Lin Xiyue took a step without hesitation and walked towards the place where Li Si and the others had left.

As she lifted her foot, the thin thread that had been wrapped around her foot seemed to come alive and slowly detached from her foot.

The thin thread trembled slightly in the air, as if bidding a final farewell to Lin Xiyue.

Then, the moment the thin thread detached from Lin Xiyue, it seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and quickly retracted into the body of the golden object.

In the blink of an eye, the thin line vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

..............................

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Li Si and Earl were rushing towards the heart of the fierce battle.

As Earl sped along, his already enormous body began to expand, as if being stretched out by an invisible force, becoming even larger.

When he finally arrived at the center of the battle, his size had become enormous, leaving everyone speechless.

Its original appearance, which was somewhat cute due to its furry body, now appears ferocious and terrifying due to its enormous size.

However, even though Earl is now so large, he is still much smaller than Meros and Fibonacci, who are currently fighting.

After all, the two of them are currently displaying their true forms, while Earl is merely an avatar.

Although Li Si, who was standing next to Earl, had not returned to his original form, the "Rubik's Cube" in his hand underwent an astonishing change in the intense atmosphere.

The once perfectly square Rubik's Cube was now twisted and deformed, completely unrecognizable, as if it had been warped by a powerful force.

The "Rubik's Cube," which should have been a standard cube, has now completely lost its original shape and become extremely strange.

It looks more like an object tightly wrapped in a large, strange piece of skin, the surface of which still retains some of the colors and shapes that originally belonged to the small squares on the "Rubik's Cube".

However, these colors and shapes became distorted and blurred due to the deformation of the "Rubik's Cube". The originally neatly arranged small squares are now unrecognizable.

What's even more bizarre is that this "Rubik's Cube" is still moving.

It seemed to have its own life, trembling incessantly, as if something inside was struggling.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the "skin" encasing the "Rubik's Cube" is not completely sealed. In some places, the surface of the "skin" bulges slightly, as if something inside is constantly pushing outwards. This image evokes the image of a living creature trapped inside, desperately trying to break free and escape this eerie "Rubik's Cube."

This feeling was so creepy, it sent chills down my spine.

"Earl, get up there right now!"

Li Si's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his voice revealed a hint of urgency.

He gripped the Rubik's Cube tightly, but it seemed to be controlled by a powerful force, trembling violently incessantly.

Li Si's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he were about to lose control of the "Rubik's Cube." He felt that force gradually breaking free from his grasp, and his body seemed powerless to resist it.

"Okay, I'm ready. Release it now!"

Earl noticed Li Si's trembling hands and quickly responded.

His voice was also filled with tension, as if one could sense the pressure Li Si was facing.

Upon hearing Earl's words, Li Si hurriedly released his hands and threw the "Rubik's Cube" away like a hot potato.

The moment the Rubik's Cube left Li Si's hands, it seemed to be suddenly liberated, as if it had been freed from some mysterious restraint, and it expanded rapidly at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the outer skin that originally covered the "Rubik's Cube" rapidly thinned, and almost at the same time, the contents inside the "Rubik's Cube" became clearly visible.

As expected, something truly terrifying was hidden inside.

This was even a living creature, its appearance was extremely bizarre, looking like a twisted, deformed baby.

Its upper body resembles that of a normal human baby, small and exquisite.

However, in stark contrast to its upper body, its lower body has several feet of different sizes and shapes.

These feet were not only deformed, but also twisted, as if they had been forcibly squeezed and deformed by some powerful force.

Even more terrifying is that through that thinned skin, you can clearly see that its body has a lifeless bluish-purple color, as if it has been dead for a long time.

However, in stark contrast to its lifeless exterior, the "baby" was actually wriggling inside. It used its tiny hands and feet to poke at the skin covering it, seemingly trying to break free from the cage that bound it.

This scene inevitably evokes the image of a baby moving in its mother's womb.

But unlike others, this "baby" looked so bizarre that it sent chills down one's spine.

All these elements combined create a chill that sends a deep shiver down the spine of anyone who witnesses it, as if an invisible hand is gripping their throat, making it impossible for them to breathe.

"Back off quickly, it's about to come out! We need to be prepared!"

Li Si's voice revealed a hint of urgency. His gaze was fixed on the skin wrapping the baby, which was growing thinner and thinner, as if it would break at any moment.

Upon hearing Li Si's warning, Earl immediately and without hesitation stepped back.

"Okay, but I still have to say, even if this isn't the first time I've seen this thing, I still find it utterly disgusting! I really can't understand what the research department was thinking when they decided to study something like this."

However, Earl kept muttering to himself.

Li Si didn't respond much to Earl's complaints; his attention was entirely focused on the "monster" that was about to hatch.

"Actually, the lead researcher who developed this thing has been imprisoned. Right after this thing was created, the boss immediately sent people to investigate that person's situation."

As Li Si continued to back away, making sure to maintain a safe distance from the thing, he explained to Earl.
