Embers Ad Infinitum

He would then enjoy a massacre from afar as a bystander.

When the time came, the final ‘victor’ would also choose to commit suicide by detonating the ‘bomb’ buried in their memory upon realization of the grave mistake they had committed.

However, Professor Qin didn’t expect Qiao Chu—who had previously never met with failure—to encounter his nemesis.

That person wasn’t bewitched!

Was he still human?

Professor Qin could only believe that the enemy had made the corresponding preparations against the few commissioners they knew as though they were gambling.
This minimized the influence of Qiao Chu’s bewitchment.

This resulted in him being pressed for time and not being able to complete the planned implant.
It also resulted in him losing an assistant and having to consider evacuating.

Although he would definitely be reprimanded by the Professor’s Association if he retreated now, he still had a chance to turn the situation around as long as he remained alive and met up with reinforcements in Icefield.
He could still make up for his mistakes.

Professor Qin’s thoughts raced as he quickly made a decision.

Retreating was necessary, but blindly retreating in a panic might not be a good thing.
If he chose to continue hiding here, the enemy had little chance of discovering him.
But once he acted by retreating in Icefield’s direction, it might not be possible to hide from the robot.

After all, he didn’t know what modules the robot had installed or if it was a long-range detection model, nor could he flip through the other party’s memories.

Also, he had to go to the spot where he had hidden the car.
It was impossible for him to enter Icefield on foot—that would be suicide.
This way, the journey would take a lot of time, and the risk of being exposed was high.

Professor Qin’s plan was to advance as a form of retreat.
This was a strategy that often appeared in the Old World’s wars: First launch an offensive and suppress the enemy before seizing an opportunity to retreat.
Otherwise, all the troops might collapse under the enemy’s pursuit.
It was better to stand fast.

Furthermore, Professor Qin had been tortured by his body, and he had long become a little extreme.
The act of launching an attack in advance with Qiao Chu was in itself a gamble.

He still wanted to take a gamble.

If he really suppressed the enemy completely, he didn’t mind turning the feint into a real attack and resolving the problem on the spot.

If he didn’t achieve such an effect, he would naturally choose to retreat.

Professor Qin then picked up the glasses on the ground beside him and placed them on the bridge of his nose.
This came from the Shattered Mirror domain and could give the target hallucinations.

If not for Professor Qin secretly using this item to affect Genava, it would’ve been very difficult for Qiao Chu—who had yet to reach the Mind Corridor’s depths—to experience such a good effect with his Electromagnetic Interference.

At this moment, Professor Qin also planned on using it to deal with the robot.

The negative price of this item was hydrophobia—it was like contracting rabies.
Therefore, Professor Qin would definitely find an opportunity to take off the glasses while retreating to prevent himself from collapsing or going crazy from the puddles and streams he encountered along the way.

He then took out a gorgeous and classical pen from his small backpack.

This item was called Pen of Hobbies.
It could create a hobby for a certain number of people within a certain range.
This hobby’s priority would exceed most things, allowing the targets to take the initiative to satisfy their hobbies.

The price of the Pen of Hobbies was ‘anger.’ It easily made people lose their minds.

Fortunately, Professor Qin’s body had deteriorated severely.
Even in rage, it wouldn’t last long.
This gave him sufficient reaction time, allowing him to control himself to a certain extent.

Professor Qin looked at the Old Task Force—which had donned the exoskeletons, changed to grenade launchers, and was about to scatter.
They were each in charge of an area.

Professor Qin no longer hesitated and made the classic pen in his hand reflect a faint red glow.

He created a hobby for the humans in the vicinity—the hobby of having a good nap when taking in the refreshing morning breeze and the warm sun while out in the suburbs.

Without bothering to see the enemy’s reaction, he made the glasses on his nose flash with fine light again.
He was distorting the environmental information and creating illusions for the robot!

Upon seeing Genava stop, Professor Qin quickly turned his gaze back to the group of humans.

They fell to the ground haphazardly, and even the wooden figurine fell to the side.

At this moment, Professor Qin saw a person stand up with difficulty.
Even though his eyes were tightly shut and he looked sleepy, he still stood up with difficulty.
