Chapter 51 Found
"So... hope comes from faith?"
This red ball of fluff told Lin that the skeleton dragon has always been a creature full of hope.
Mainly it's their belief in pompoms.
Other spaces have been in an unstable state to some extent due to their own problems.
They themselves are prone to despair.
The boneless dolls don't invade so casually. Although they seem to have the military power to overwhelm a space at any time, these creatures usually only invade when a space is in an unstable state.
That is to say, they will only attack when the creatures in this space are in a bad mental state.
For the boneless doll, the 'distance' between these spaces of hope is primarily measured in terms of emotion.
The more desperate the space, the closer it is to them, and the more hopeful the space, the farther away it is from them.
In fact, this is also the reason why they have not invaded Tucker Space. Although the dwarves in Tucker Space have been affected and some dolls have appeared, these dolls have no specific function.
They can't affect anything in this space and can only wander around.
Therefore, they will invade Tucker's space last, but because of the action of this red pompom... the invasion speed of the boneless doll becomes much slower.
Because after the boneless doll invades a space, it will immediately detect the surrounding space and then decide where to invade.
Because it protects these spaces, the dolls cannot occupy these spaces.
They can only detect the place they want to invade from their original location.
The original location is where the space of the huge Ershi people is located.
Although Lin seemed to arrive there easily, for the boneless doll, it was very far away from Tucker's space.
If Tucker's space always maintains a strong state of hope, their location will detect that Tucker is very far away.
Therefore they were unable to reach Tucker's position and ultimately were unable to invade.
What Lin was more curious about was how it made the boneless doll give up invading the surrounding space.
Because these spaces first became desperate after being invaded, and then it used some miraculous method to make the group of dolls retreat, and let the main consciousness of the space enter a state of hope to maintain the space.
The question is why does it make these dolls retreat?
It did not directly answer Lin's question, it just said that if it continued like this, the doll would stay where it is.
Although they may come up with some solutions sooner or later, it can be delayed for a long time.
As for its identity, it did not explain it, but only said that its current appearance is mainly in various spaces... because of the spread of the faith of the pompom.
But it itself doesn't know what Lin is. In short, it thinks that Lin should not move around during this period... and the doll will not discover these protected spaces.
After saying this, Lin found that it disappeared.
It seems that there are indeed a lot of... very strange creatures here.
However, Lin did not do as it said, but continued to try to investigate some nearby spaces.
Sure enough, all the nearby spaces were transformed into the same shape by it.
Another strange thing is that there is only one main consciousness in these spaces, and all other creatures seem to have disappeared.
After investigating for a while, Lin came to a relatively 'normal' occupied space.
This place is much larger than the previous ones, with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.
The environment here is a bit like a swamp, with potholes and quagmires everywhere.
The main thing is that there are a lot of...boneless dolls here.
These boneless dolls have built some large structures in the mud potholes, which look like they are made of tree roots.
Lin's locomotive flew through the air, observing them from above.
Lin's train itself also has the function of "invisibility", so they did not discover Lin's train.
This place looks like a very 'normal' place to be occupied by dolls.
There are a huge number of dolls here, and Lin feels that they should have just occupied this place.
Then, Lin tried to test this place.
When Lin's train was being tested, all the dolls on the ground instantly discovered the train and began to get excited.
They were running frantically on the ground, as if trying to attack the air.
But just like before, they don't seem to have any anti-air attack capabilities.
Lin discovered the main consciousness of this space during the rapid testing process.
So Lin flew quickly towards the target area... and arrived there very quickly.
The main consciousness of this space... is that red ball of fluff.
At least it looks exactly the same as the one Lin had seen before, and it is much larger, with a diameter of thirty meters.
The one Lin had seen before was more than one meter in size.
It is now in the center of a swamp, with many things like tree roots entangled around it.
From a distance, Lin could detect that it was full of despair, but she could only know what it was thinking specifically after she came into contact with it.
So Lin let the ball of fluff fly out of the train and came to its side.
Although the dolls around noticed Lin's train, they did not notice a ball of fluff flying out.
Therefore, Lin's ball of fluff easily approached it.
While touching the red ball of fluff, Lin could feel its emotions...and they weren't actually full of despair.
Its state is the same as the surrounding space.
That is, its body is surrounded by despair, but its interior is full of hope.
And if Lin examines its internal structure, she can detect that its thinking is very similar to Tucker's.
That is the extreme belief in the pompoms, the thinking that the pompoms can bring them hope.
But in reality, it's not really worshipping the pom-poms.
Because after careful examination, Lin discovered that it mainly took advantage of this...emotion.
It allows part of its mind to maintain this state of strong hope, but there is another part of its real mind that does not think so.
In short, it uses this method to arbitrarily create some emotions for exploitation.
But what Lin cares more about is... how it is wrapped in despair on the outside and full of hope on the inside.
"Leave here..."
When Lin was testing it, she suddenly found that it was trying to send her some messages.
"You're going to ruin this place...completely..."
When it finished saying these words, Lin suddenly felt a lot of... despair coming from Tucker's space.
It seems that there has been an invasion.
