Oedis’s clan of mind-grabbing demons responded to the call of Noah, the mastermind, and actively devoted themselves to the preparations for evacuation and migration.

By the end of June, the five shell ships were finally modified.

Due to the limited internal space of the ship, in order to take as many compatriots as possible, many equipment including naval guns and spare engines had to be dismantled to free up load space and add more seats.

Surface time, on the first day of July 1628, in the center of the square of the spiritual city of Odes, the time column was lit for the last time, the main tower rang the bell, and the citizens of the city were summoned to gather and prepare to board the ship.

More than five hundred heart-reavers, each carrying a servant weighing no more than two hundred pounds in accordance with the regulations, plus a load of 100 pounds on his shoulders, walked out of the house in an orderly manner and came to the gate of the bamboo tower. Gathered in the square.

Five shell ships, numbered from "Ark 1" to "Ark 5". The four elders each led 120 compatriots on board No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5, and No. 1 The mastermind is personally responsible for steering the helm.

More than 30 mind-daughters worked together to perform telekinesis capabilities, and moved the huge brain pool from the main tower. Together with the main brain floating in the pool and countless tadpoles, they carefully carried it to the cockpit of the No. 1 ship and fixed it properly. .

Because the main brain and brain pool are too heavy, the number of seats reserved for other citizens on the No. 1 ship is very limited.

Qiao An was not qualified to board the ship to flee, and other refugees in the city, as well as many servants abandoned by the master, surrounded the square to watch the excitement.

Others who were abandoned, somewhat resentful, complained indignantly through telepathy.

These refugees and slaves regarded the "Gnostic Brothers" as the leader of their small group, and almost all came to him to complain. The first sentence at the beginning was surprisingly similar:

"It's fine if I was left behind, but Nos is different for you, brother. You have done a great job for Oedis. You saved the lives of Lord Brain and Lord Metatron. They even left you behind. I'll do it for you. Feeling worthless!"

Qiao An was actually anxious to stay, and it was inconvenient to tell the truth, so he could only send out a telepathy, hum haha ​​a few social entertainments, and focus on observing the spacecraft of the heart-devil.

He had heard of the name of the shell ship a long time ago, and was deeply curious about this kind of vehicle that could travel across planes, so he walked out of the crowd to observe it nearby.

The "Spiral Ship" aptly named it. It looks like a huge Nautilus. The shell of the star iron casts curls, showing regular and beautiful threads, and glowing with a fascinating silver-gray luster under the light.

At the opening of the shell, countless flexible and slender tentacles stretched out. The color was deep purple, and the texture resembled the tentacles of the psychedelic monster.

These hundreds of feet long tentacles have vitality, and can be manipulated by the helmsman of the shell ship with mental power, just like the extension of their own limbs, flexible curling and twisting.

When the Mind Reaver drives the snail shell ship to sail against the surface, it can remotely control these thick and long tentacles to capture surface creatures, forcibly drag them back into the cabin, and serve as food, hosts, or research objects.

Qiao An has read several witness reports about the shell ship sailing over a human town. The descriptions of all witnesses are surprisingly similar:

The huge silver nautilus floats over the street, protruding countless purple tentacles. With a light wave, it sweeps high-rise buildings such as churches apart, plunges into the ruins, and rolls up the residents inside the building. In the futile struggle and screams of the other party, he slowly retracted back.

Qiao An followed a tentacled into the interior of the shell ship, and saw neatly arranged cabins on both sides of the tentacles roots, like coffins with transparent crystal covers, the internal space only accommodates one person, and the purple inner surface presents the texture of organs. , The muscle mucosa is smooth and moist, like an artificial uterus.

The Mind Reaver would feel very comfortable lying in this dark, warm and humid environment.

Qiao An also noticed that several tubular organs were attached to the head of the airtight chamber, which were sensor terminals used to connect with the tentacles of the Mind Devil.

Passengers lie in it, connect their tentacles and sensors, and get the nutrients needed to survive from the hull. At the same time, they can also input their own psychic energy into the hull and gather them in the cockpit to serve as the captain and helmsman. The elders of the united call.

Why gather the psychic energy of all passengers?

The answer is to carry out long-distance teleportation for the shell ship-in the words of Mind Devil, this is called "transition"-to store energy.

Utilizing the pre-stored psychic energy, the huge spiral shell ship can carry all the passengers directly from the gloomy region to the star realm.

Since the star realm has its own subjective gravity, the passengers don't need to contribute psychic energy for the next trip. The helmsman can adjust the gravity point to make the spiral shell ship sail without working fluid in the vast starry sky.

The end of this journey is located in front of a "Star Gate" leading to "Refuge No. 42", and then the shell ship will use the star gate as a springboard to teleport to the magic-free world where the destination is located.

The so-called "star gate", according to Qiao An's understanding, is a natural portal, which exists in the star realm as a colorful vortex, immortal forever.

The Mind Reaver, a nation born in the astral world, has been keen to explore the mysteries of the various planes of the multiverse since ancient times, and the "Star Gate" is their springboard to other planes or crystal wall systems.

It is precisely because the "Star Gate" is so important to the Mind Demon, every time a new "Star Gate" is encountered during the voyage, the coordinates must be recorded on the star map. The newly discovered islands will be solemnly marked on the nautical chart.

In this way, the mind-savers traveled from one star gate to another, jumped from one world to another, spreading their footprints to almost every corner of the multiverse.

However, astral navigation is not always so pleasant.

In fact, most of the natural enemies of the Mind-Demons live in the astral world, such as the famous Gisyanki and Giszelites.

These two ethnic groups hate the heart-scrapers. Once they find that the shell ship appears in their own territory, they will immediately summon their tribesmen to intercept and kill.

Tentacles alone cannot stop the vicious Gisyanki pirates and their red dragon allies. Considering the risk of encountering pirates during the voyage, the shell ship should be equipped with a weapon with sufficient firepower to increase the armor as much as possible.

However, these equipments are too heavy and take up too much space. In order to make more space to install people, the mastermind and the elders have repeatedly argued, and finally decided to take the risk and dismantle most of the ship’s weapons and armor to almost "running naked." To carry out this great migration across the sea of ​​stars.

In order to avoid being intercepted by pirates, Odiz’s migration plan is strictly confidential. So far, apart from Noah, no second mind-sever knows the destination of this trip, "Refuge No. 42", where exactly is it located? Place.
